- Got the score 93100. This game is hard. Using the Konami Code while paused yields a full power-up, and I'm using it to get a chance of getting past the two volcanos. I reached stage 2 and was killed by a swarm of Zubs.
- Got the score 128400. Reached stage 3, the one with the Moai heads.
- Yikes, so difficult.
- That demo "AI" is disappointingly stupid.
- The two cheats:
- Pause game, then Konami Code (UUDDLRLRBA Start) to get full option level.
- On Game Over screen, press DUBABABA Start to continue. Can only be done once.
- Got the score 134300.
- Hnnggg... this game ... so hard.
- Erik's Nintendo Classic Edition had Gradius on it, and I had to try how far I could get. It actually went OK, I reached the Moai heads before I was shot down and got stuck with the awful starting weapons.
- The second time I played Gradius on Erik's NES Classic. Too difficult.
- Got the Challenger 1985 achievement. - Playing on RetroArch with the Mesen core.
- Erik brought out the NES Classic and we played a bunch of the games. I didn't remember how to input the Konami code so I couldn't get far in Gradius.
- Got the score 81600.
