Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
The dead serious Gradius games were dark, somber,
and stone cold. Konami realized this back in 1988
and decided to lighten things up by parodying their
flagship shooter series with a little game called
Parodius. Instead of powerful space ships such as
the Vic Viper or the Lord British, Parodius gave
players control of a pink octopus named Takosuke
which flew and blasted away with blazing lasers.
From there, the Parodius series gained more
characters, more bizarre bosses, and enraptured fans
with light-hearted visuals that were very Japanese.
Konami collects five Parodius games on a single PSP UMD and throws
in screen adjustment facilities, in-game modifiers,
and a very convenient save/load function. The music
in the Parodius games are bright, lively, and crisp
so Konami included a BGM player in the software so
gamers can listen to the tunes without having to
play through the different games.
The five games contained in Parodius Portable are:
1) Parodius (1988, 2007) MSX Remake
2)
Parodius Da! (1990) Coin-op version
3)
Gokujou Parodius: Kakou no Eikou wo Momomete
(1994)
4)
Sexy Parodius (1996)
5)
Jikkyou
Oshaberi Parodius - forever with me - (1996)
