Gradius II PCE CDROM² ver.
© 1992 Konami

Back to our roots. The arcade version of Gradius II were my first uploaded videos way back in 2009. My oh my how far we've come. I was 20 when I started this, I'm 24 now. Gettin old D:.

This version of the game is a crazy miracle port by Konami to the PC Engine. A dual 68000 + z80 arcade game ported to a low end 8bit 6502! Truly amazing. The professional difficulty is the hardest configuration of Gradius II you can play anywhere, much much harder than the AC version on very hard.

I spent a week playing the game with no success. Then I discovered that my monitor has a huge amount of input lag. Passing the cable signal through the BLackmagic and onto a low lag TV made the game that much easier that I beat it on my third attempt after the switch. Hurray!

And once again the video editing was a lot of work, way more than I thought. Worth it in the end. So please enjoy as usual.
