I will keep an archive of any Gradius V related videos (this contains a vid for each chapter of a Japanese player using Type 4) here.

Some unbelievable loop 13 vids here

For BenShinobis GradV vids (he uses Type 2) click here.


If you have made a video you wish to be included in the above archive, ftp it to me here: ftp://ikaruga.co.uk/incoming (anonymous access) and drop me a PM when it is done so I can move it.

Rules: Normal Difficulty, 3 lives, no continues.

Perhaps we should also specify in the rules default Extend options and no use of the "konami command" ? =]

[rjpageuk]

Thanks for that - added them.

I would quite like to get some chapter scores up as it lets people focus on a smaller part of the game and so can get a few more people interested.

I think quite a few people might be up for a stage 1 score challenge (come on people post up some stage 1 top scores), but I am less sure about the other stages. You could realistically go for score on the other stages if you allowed the cheat at the start of the stage (and used the stage select), but I dont really think we would get many people bothering to try.

Anyhow I am just thinking aloud here .

[marcus]

Whats the Konami command? Also, what if you earn extra lives whilst in a 1 credit game?

[rjpageuk]

As we are playing default extend, obviously if you gain lives during a run this is fine (I added "start with 3 lives" to make it clear).

The cheats (konami command) are:

Press start to pause the game, then at the pause menu enter the following -

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, L2, R2
Gives you 1 Speed Up, Missile, Double, 4 Options & ? (Force Field)

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, L1, R1
Gives you 1 Speed Up, Missile, Laser, 4 Options & ? (Force Field)

If you have a look at the archive up there of Grad V videos I am uploading I have put a couple of new videos there which a friend sent me.

Can someone with the Perfect DVD please watch them and tell me if thats what they are. If they are I will quickly take them down!

Thanks for the stage 1 scores guys - bloody hell venom if those vids I have are the Perfect DVD your stage 1 just beat it?!

[Kubrick]

What's the password to d/l the vids?

PM it if you don't want it for all to see

[rjpageuk]

Confirmation they are not the Perfect DVD so I am leaving them up - there is a ch1 and ch2 vid there.

[Kubrick]
