Imagine this hearing this music and soundeffects produced by the "SCC" sound chip in the game cartridge back in 1987. I was completely blown away by the soundeffects and the music. Not to mention the graphics offcourse. Both were abolutely of arcade quality
Nice comparison. The difference between both is like night and day. Anyway, the soundtrack from this game is just fantastic. I wish games these days could have an amazing soundtrack like this one.
This was the finest of the Gradius series imho. I recently discovered it appeared on the SharpX68000 in Japan, which was essentially Arcade quality, although I'm not sure which came first.
Of course, this MSX version was the beginning. The name is the same as the arcade version, but MSX has released its own original work. And the one made with x68000 by improving the MSX version is "NEMESIS 90 Kai'
It's a nice comparison, but sadly the left window incorrectly using incorrect the MSX2 palette, leading to some incorrect perception/comments about the colors. This is an MSX1 game, so the left window should have been run on an MSX1 machine with the TMS99x8 VDP, like the National CF-3300.
@@playablemuseum The comparison is incorrectly using incorrect MSX2 colors on the left window. This is an MSX1 game, and the TMS99x8 VDP had brownish reds.
Hmm... Makes me think that they could have kept the original background star animation, but inverted the loop direction and slowed it down to half in order to give the game a nice parallax scroll effect.
The original is better in term of color choice. + The original developers made their game with a point by point scrolling, the gameplay is adapted for this scrolling. Having a smoother scrolling kills the difficulty adjustments...
Just because the scrolling has improved, the game seems to be twice as good. I like this better than the artwork or graphics of the original work being modified.
Gradius 2 (MSX) has among the best soundtracks in the entire series.

It's the first game using SCC.
I can't forget the moment I first heard this music.
Since then, SCC has been my best sound chip ever.
Much more playable now. Glad these Nemesis series scrolling hacks exist.

Despite smooth scrolling is awesome I prefer the colors of original version mostly in Fire and Organic stages...

I can't believe that this game have been remaked 3 times, 2 remakes on Sharp X68000 and the third one on PSP!

Are there anymore patches like this for other games?
Great :)

the smooth scroll looks better! what do you think?

글라디우스2가 저렇게 매끄러운 가로스크롤의 msx2용으로 발매가 됐던가요?

Salamander(1986) has the worse Scroll this is why I did not like to play it
