Do you even have mono sound setting in your phone? That's because the NES didn't have stereo sound capabilities at the time, and the sound effects and bgm are on the same audio channel, so they could overlap or cancel the audio with each other.

@@jakepinsky6957 On Gradius NES it is powerups (both options, shields, missiles.) It doesn't give you speed up or laser/double shot, but those are easy to acquire. Lifeforce and Contra give you the 30 extra lives. Fun fact: Gradius III on SNES, the normal Konami code self destructs your ship. To get the powerups, use the left and right triggers instead of the D-pad for left and right. 30 lives is a different code.

@conorneligan76942 жыл бұрын
I've beaten both games. This is way easier than Ghosts 'n Goblins tbh. The approach you have to take is completely different though. This is basically impossible to beaten unless you do the whole thing without dying, whereas GnG you will die over and over and over on the same parts, but there is fairly frequent checkpoints, more so earlier on. I will say you kind of have to master Gradius to beat it where you don't really with GnG. But imo the only really tough part of Gradius is the third stage. If you beat the third stage and you keep renewing your shield you have a good chance of winning. I beat the game the second time I got past stage 3.

Totally different story lines. If you are to compare Lifeforce with anything, it should be Salamander. As one works with accumulating powerups and manually selecting an upgrade VS the other that has the upgrade floating around and you deciding if you want to pick it up or not.

@rosstedfordkendall3 жыл бұрын
Last two bosses self-destruct, shots aren't necessary. In fact, all the bosses self-destruct if you wait long enough (something like 20-30 seconds). At least Gradius 2 for famicom they had you attack the support cables, and the boss actually fought back a little. Wasn't super hard, but it was something. Lifeforce's final boss is also really easy once you kill the snake/salamander guarding it. The escape sequence after is actually tougher.

Well, This doesn't help too much, as I did this on the playchoice 10 version (which I think is based on the Japanese version of the game, but here's what they say for the first 8 loops in that one. After the word, it says Let's Go Next Zone every time, so I'll omit that. 1. Kangeki! 2. Omigoto! 3. Nikui Nikui! 4. Antawa Sugoi! 5. Miagetamonda! 6. Iukotonaine! (on this loop, when I was awarded my bonus 100k, the line under the 100k had a random stray M by itself that appeared) 7. Iukotonaine! (no stray M this time) 8. Iukotonaine! (no stray M here either) so it looks like in total, there are 6 unique words in the Japanese version.

Well it's true that this is auto scrolling game so the time that you can save is minimal, but there is some, like killing the bosses the fastest way possible or by reducing lag by not taking all the options upgrades. There is also two warps you can take to skip 2 levels.

My favorite memory with this game is using the second controller to drive my friend nuts. It was his first time playing and both controllers worked for some reason. So when he played I held in the B button on the 2nd controller without him knowing. It just kept giving him speed ups! By the cave on the first level the ship was uncontrollable. So I said, "Here... Let me play" and it worked normal for me. So I said, "See how it's done?" Then he'd play again and hold in the B button on the other controller. Him: 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Me: 😂😂😂😂🤓
