Game would have been much more memorable if Mario was tearing down a whole-ass building each level. Let that Italian mf show you where the "Super" in his name comes from.

Honestly, Gradius is a pretty solid game. A very brain-numbingly difficult game, but it brings some good ideas to the table.

Is this the senior citizen league?

As if said by a late 2000's YouTube AVGN clone, this game sure as hell made me lose my marbles.

Controls like aaaaaaassssss

No exaggeration. It feels like the projectiles are specifically programmed to avoid your targets.

Sans the final level, it's actually a pretty fun game.

Holy FFFFFFUCK that's a hard game!

This made me damn near unleash my inner John McEnroe.

Weak story. We never find out why this guy gets into three separate fights back-to-back. Were they all for the same reason, in which case why didn't all three guys just jump him at once? Was it three isolated incidents? If the latter is the case, than this game says more about his character than anything else.

Pac-Man should have stayed home.
While the game does have some good ideas (like turning a level into a puzzle game starting at Trip 4) and appealing graphics, there are a lot of things that hold it back from anything other than "Meh".
- The running mechanic is way too awkward. Rather than have a separate button for it, you have to tap the joystick right twice. This can be a problem when you don't have much room, or there are a bunch of enemies surrounding you.
- It took me so long to figure out how to jump the lakes (Constantly pushing right while you're in the air). It really feels something you figure out through trial-and-error, and in the arcades, that was probably after you wasted several dollars on the machine.
- On small platforms, Pac-Man interprets any light left/right movement as a sign to swan dive to his death.

Officer, they said my cowboy hat was "unfit for a boar" and wouldn't apologize.
