This would be the last one on the NES and next up for the Gradius series was Gradius 3. There was a spin-off game titled Salamander which was also known as Life Force. Gradius 2 never saw daylight in North America but Japan was able to get their hands on it when it was released over there in 1988. Gradius began in 1985 when it was released on the NES. Gradius has a rich history that does in fact have a fan base that is devoted to buy each Gradius game that is released. In fact, I believe Gradius V is the best one in the past few years that may spark some other developers to put some time into a genre that seems to be almost extinct now. 2d shooters have been a dying breed over the past few years but Gradius V is one that should not be overlooked. Konami’s Gradius may not technically be the first but their 1981 title Scramble is included in Gradius’ line of heritage. ![]() The history of classic shooters began with Gradius.
