Gradius (Archimendes) - NES - ending
5A special promotional version to promote a popular Japanese ramen brand.
The name is made up of "Aruki" (walking), "Men" (noodle) and "desu" (be) - "super instant noodles you can eat on the go".
Both the cartridge and the box come with a special triangular sticker applied to them, and each copy is numbered (on the leaflet and inside one of the box's flap).
This edition is extremely rare (apparently 4000 units were given away) and consequently quite expensive.
Played and recorded by V.E.D., as part of the videogame endings database, whose goal is to catalogue and create the world's largest archive of videogame endings! (what an humble and not ambitious project :D)
