sega_SHARK Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 This game kicks my ass... I just hit all of the bonus rounds last night for the first time. It took me a while to get there though... The dinosaurs believe in you VS. : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega_SHARK Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Real easy one to start: - easy mode, arcade, 3 lives, auto shoot and power up. Using Atari joystick I don't have an Atari Joystick currently : ( So this is with a dpad. easy mode, 3 lives, auto shoot and auto power up. This seriously messed up my timing not playing through the MSX bone stage. I managed to loop the levels twice today. 1,813,100 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZ Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) I think the next challenge issued should be for donkey kong. I see a reflection in the gradius image, that's you taking the photo, and your kid? Edited June 6, 2017 by KAZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBrian Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I was just playing this game last weekend with my Atari 2600 gold kit joystick and I love it . I can't wait to get my Edladdin arcade controller this week . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZ Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Just me in the reflection. I must be gaining weight. ; ) I was referring to Opcode's first gradius high score picture. Opcode (I think) is taking the picture, and to his left (our right) there is a young kid in the picture (I think-it is kinda dark). You have to zoom in tho.

Kiwi Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, go to your room, you're grounded! Try that code during this game, you'll self destruct like Gradius 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega_SHARK Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 There is a way on the MSX to switch your ship to Twin Bee. I think you have to have a Twin Bee cart in the second slot on the MSX. I messed around with the keypad for about an hour trying to find easter eggs in this version. No luck yet. Try that code during this game, you'll self destruct like Gradius 3.

Kiwi Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I really need to push off the pile of dust off Gradius and play it. That upside down volcano usually get me almost every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega_SHARK Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 That upside down volcano usually get me almost every time. I always die on the 1st inverted volcano. I just skip it now with the bonus stage. Fly through through the mountain tunnel in stage 1. Then fly through the mountain tunnels in stage 4. Warp to the bonus round. No inverse volcano! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
