![]() History is important to the people of Gradius, as is all the higher pursuits of knowledge, art and music. Those were the days when it was just a chapter in your history book. You even got a toy Warp Rattler for your fifth birthday. ![]() That is, until now.īeing a good Gradian, your history class in primary school was the first place you heard of the ancient Heroic Missions to fight Bacterion. In the past, Bacterion has only had the power to rear its ugly head on a few isolated occasions. Feeding on the suffering of the innocent, it moves like a germ throughout the Galaxy, manifesting itself in unspeakably hideous forms. Bacterion, it has been called, is a malignant mass that has spawned all that is wicked in the universe. In the darkest quadrant of space there churns a vortex of Bad Vibes. I was always more of a run n gun sort of fan, but this level of choice at the outset was an interesting entrance to a game with great game play. Unlike many games I played prior to Graduis III's release, there were quite a few options to select prior to game play. The controls were far simpler than Defender, but I considered Gradius III a very tough game! Although Vanguard went vertical and horizontal during it's quest, I liked the changing landscapes of Gradius III. I loved playing Vanguard and Defender - even on my 2600. I've loved side scrolling space shooters since dropping my first quarter into an arcade game.
