Gradius PS1 playthrough on NORMAL! NOWAIT mode unlock! (Gradius Deluxe Pack)
Playing through the PS1 port of Gradius in "Gradius Deluxe Pack" in the emulator DuckStation in Windows, on the default "3 NORMAL" difficulty!
I used the Infinite Lives cheat from DuckStation's Cheat Manager, and a whole lotta save states. ; D
My shmup playlist: • smbhax's Shoot-'Em-Up adventures!
0:00 - intro video
3:28 - OPTION
6:28 - START
14:10 - so many Moai
38:32 - last bit
39:05 - ending & credits
44:14 - unlocked NOWAIT mode (partial play)
The ending still seems abrupt and anti-climactic--like the MSX version--and overall it feels like a short game. But it's got the crunchy pixelly difficulty I was looking for, I think. ^ _^ And heck there are three higher difficulty levels to kill myself on if I want! = o (The first and last difficulty level are "1 PS EASY" and "6 PS DIFFICULT" (which is after "4 DIFFICULT" and "5 VERY DIFFICULT" ; D), so it sounds like this PS1 port probably added those two difficulty levels.)
