Ehehehe, the Konami code saved so many folks. Looking forward to the evil that is Life Force, as that's the Gradius I've played (along with some of the many, many spinoffs)

That's alright, Star Man. Definitely know I'll hang around for it, because Life Force was the first Gradius I ever played.

Japanese or US version?

That'd be the US Version.

Welp, that was pretty much as I remember it. :v:

I'm also mystified at conversions sometimes, because there sure are quite a few differences between EU, JP, and US versions of games sometimes, including entire levels being removed or added in.

Also, a random bit of mondegreen hilarity. It wasn't until the Two-Player vid I realised the synth voice was saying "Danger Danger Danger Danger", instead thinking that the Zelos Force (Which... Can talk... For reasons?) was trying to catch up while saying "Hey jerk, hey jerk, hey jerk, hey jerk" :v:

I dunno, I like that mental image more somehow...

Dang, always cool to hear people's memories, how they got into things, and also cool, if odd, to see Tutankha- Tutun- Tutamanattacky-type-dude and the other bosses that are different!

...Wait, are we finally out of the Gradius 1 remakes? Are you finally free?
