Gradius 8.5

Gradius is by far the greatest scrolling shooter series ever ! I have tried a few others like Alpha Mission and Gradius is far better than all of them ! Originally released as an arcade game in 1985, and later ported to other platforms. Such as the Commodore 64 and the NES. In 1990 Gradius was released for Game Boy, under the name Nemesis. Then in 1998 It was released for the Game Boy Color, as Gradius again.It was included on the Konami Game Boy Collection Vol.1
