Review #1304 – Gradius (PC Engine)

So this would be the time where I would load up on a bunch of wrestling game reviews on the road to Wrestlemania, but since the road to Wrestlemania seems to have more potholes than the island of Montreal at the moment, I’ve decided that we’re going to cover a couple Gradius games, starting with this Japan-only PC Engine version and then following up with the two Game Boy entries, Nemesis and Interstellar Assault.

In any event, Gradius is a fun one to revisit. There’s a Gradius Origins collection that you should check out for arcade fun… and also Salamander III is quite the banger.
