Game Description: Gradius is a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up where players control the Vic Viper, a starfighter battling through enemy fleets and alien landscapes. The game features a unique power-up system where players collect capsules to activate upgrades such as speed boosts, missiles, laser cannons, and the iconic “Option” satellite drones. With its dynamic level design, challenging bosses, and strategic weapon selection, Gradius set the standard for the side-scrolling shooter genre.
Note: The transition from 5-screw to 3-screw cartridges in Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games was primarily a cost-saving
measure implemented by Nintendo during the late 1980s. This change occasionally coincided with updates to other aspects of the game's
packaging, including the Universal Product Code (UPC) and/or a color change to the Nintendo Seal of Quality (SOQ). Not all NES games
underwent a UPC change during this transition and many retained the same UPC across both cartridge designs.
