This is a PlayStation port of arcade Gradius II bundled in Gradius Deluxe Pack.
Amusing how I died at the very beginning, but then cleared the rest of the first loop without deaths, which is roughly how you would normally beat a game in Gradius series and its spin-offs.
------------
Easiest part: Stage 6 (Speed stage)
Hardest part: Stage 8 (Fortress stage)
Personal difficulty by scale on Very Difficult with Wait Control off and autofire: 5 (That was easier than I imagined its difficulty to be. Of course, the second loop is decently brutal with all the suicide bullets, but that's a story for a future clear. Maybe)
Difficulty rating in japanese STG difficulty wiki: 13 (Type 1 with autofire)
Time to complete: 3 hours
Days to complete: 4 days
