Gradius II

The sequel to the excellent side-scrolling shooter. Now you can choose your own power level, i.e. your own weapons, at the beginning of the game. Only the ship itself remains the same, but the environment and music have changed for the better. Enemies are even more varied. Quite powerful special effects for the NES have appeared. You can now choose your weapons and ship before you start the game. Some bosses, such as a man's head with his brains out, are impressive. The game is a real sign of quality from Konami. Beware: it is quite challenging.
