Gradius 36th Anniversary – Gradius II Episode II/Gradius III (MSX 1)

36 years ago Gradius/Nemesis was released in the arcades, and not long after home versions were released for a number of systems.
Let’s celebrate by playing some of these home conversions.
In this video we look at the 3rdd game in the series Gradius II – Part II or Gradius III for the MSX Computer. This one steps up again, adding a lot more colour and if it’s possible, even more difficulty. The difficulty level means it can be hard to get into (as I demonstrate here), but perseverance can net the player a worthwhile experience.
