Classic Game Room HD reviews GRADIUS for the Nintendo Entertainment System NES video game console! This Gradius review shows gameplay and footage from this legendary side scrolling SHMUP video game. Gradius was originally released in the Japanese arcades in 1985 and earned immediate attention for its amazing quality and awesome game play.

The NES version came out a few years later from Konami for NES consumption in the United States. Gamers everywhere boarded the Vic Viper space ship and destroyed waves of enemies in one of the most popular 2D horizontal SHMUPS in history. What makes Gradius so much fun and why are they still making sequels? Watch this Gradius review and find out. Classic Game Room is the retro reviewer reviewing Gradius into this old school video game review. If you like the NES and games on NES like Life Force (which is a follow up to Gradius) then you'll dig this game! Collect it today! Also available on Wii Virtual Console today, this gameplay is from the original NES cartridge.

 

So RAD it hurts!
