Time: 3.5 hours (Technically 36.5+3.5 hours due to the port being similar, but not exact, to the arcade version)
Autofire has not been used.

A very impressive port of Gradius to PC Engine, which shows how powerful can the console be in terms of graphical processing. It's amazing to see arcade graphics on an 8-bit console with 16-bit graphics and 1.79MHz 6502-derived CPU compared to the arcade's 9.216MHz Motorola 68000 with the PC Engine port showing a bit more slowdown in situations the arcade version faces.
One notable feature of the port is the desert stage, which is a massively reworked bone stage from the MSX port, but now with skeletons that leave bone frags upon destruction.
