from retro to modern gaming


 

Salamander

version: jp - year: 1991 - developer: konami - publisher: konami - format: pc engine, hucard - condition: mint - rarity: slight

Off spring of the classic Gradius series

 

Watch out for the teeth. Salamander had a revolutionary design back in the day

 

Carve yourself a path into the Salamander's living tissue and hurry up because it will reform soon!

 

The bio-brain is one of the coolest and toughest boss in the game. It's amazing how many times it has been copied by other software companies!

 

This level is very similar to the one found in Pulstar...similar or identical?!

Review - Close port of the coin-op classic, but not arcade-perfect. The big Brain is one of the best bosses to date though. Shoot ‘dem dirty aliens!

Bottom line: seminal and ultra tough gradius spin-off with a captivating and innovative (for the time) bio-theme which is engraved into videogames history....9/10
