  2. Started #Gradius Generation/Galaxies (#GBA) and love how detailed the background is. Using a romhack which replaces the original ship with a better looking ship from the Parodius series. Highly recommend the hack as it's a big graphical improvement over the original.

  3. #hitexploded Salamander. Didn't take too long (had a save-state at Stage 4 from previously). It felt a bit weird, finishing the game without having to beat some big final boss, got something else and nice instead though. Changing horizontal and vertical levels is nice and good music. #gradius #shmup

  7. Piccadilly Gradius
    After yesterday's exploration of a huge collection of antique electro-mechanical amusement machines, it seemed meet to drag out a little video I've been aware of for a while, a demonstration of a Piccadilly Circus-style redemption machine made by Konami, amusingly named Piccadilly Gradius (2 minutes).

  9. Outside my parents house I found an ancient plastic box with Famicom games. They were to be thrown away 🫢

    There are a couple of big hits among them, like Gradius and DragonQuest 1-3.
    I put a list in the alt text.
    I think the Transformers game is widely known as horribly bad.

    I’d like to try them but I don’t have a Famicom base device. 🥲
    Probably none of them are worth anything given the condition. So I’ll likely end up giving them to a used game store for like 10 yen a game. But at least I wanted to document and share this first.

  10. So excited to see more love; this time from Joe Bourrie's upcoming book "Beyond the NES"! ❤️

    In addition to Dustin Hansen's gorgeous cover art, this book celebrates the Famicom's rich library, and is inspired by classic gaming mags of yesteryear.

  14. Happy Gradius Day! I'll be firing up my old #MSX and playing Nemesis 2 and possibly Salamander. #Gradius

    Looking forward to the Switch version

  15. @cwebber
    the #MSX had quite a few #SHMUPS, including a bunch of early #Konami, #Compile and #Falcom titles.

    Some others you might like to try include:
    - #Aleste 1 & 2, #AlesteGaiden
    - #Gradius / #Nemesis (depending on the region) 1, 2 and 3
    - #Parodius
    - #SpaceManbow (there's also a pretty good #homebrew sequel #Manbow2)
    - #Zanac, #ZanacEX
    - #MKai's #Kyokugen & #PleasureHearts

    Also worth mentioning is that the #MetalGearSolid series started on the MSX with #MetalGear and MG2: #SolidSnake

  16. Legendary #chiptune artist Miki “MIKI-CHANG” Higashino of #Nemesis / #Gradius and #Salamander fame is booked to appear at #MSX2GOTO40:

    After the success of #MSXGOTO40, celebrating the 40 years anniversary of the #MSX standard, the team behind the event has just opened the ticket sales for its successor, celebrating 40 years of #MSX2 on the 13th of September in 2025: msxgoto40.com/en/news/welcome-

  17. Glory Be to Frog in Heaven, it’s Fan-Made Character-Mode Gradius
    Why would someone make something like this? I'm glad they did though. It's fifteen minutes long, made for a pair of Japanese Sharp-produces home computers. Note that the proper name for this is not ASCII-art, as it makes heavy use of Japanese characters.

  18. m.stitch.x is a longterm dedicated #MSX fan, occasionally showing up at fairs and meetings in related cosplay. Lately she has been using some interesting media for her #crossStitching, namely old #2HD #floppydisks, portraying some instantly recognisable icons from the MSX #gaming library, such as #BubbleBobble, #Gradius and Lolo & Lala from #Eggerland. Unfortunately she's only on Instagram, FB and Twatter, but her #art is worth checking out imho: instagram.com/m.stitch.x
