Here's an thing I found about the logos Konami made for the streamer guideline packs. konami.com/games/gradius/… If you notice the GOC (Gradius Origin Collection) Gradius logo (bottom of the image) is in the NES style but with Arcade colours and wings. 😀 #gradius #KONAMI

@JazRignall Played this in Clacton back in 85, excellent rendition of the 2600 stages and expanded on the levels with minecarts and volcanos.

Here's a real arcade rarity. 40 years ago, this long-forgotten Sega coin-op was seen in a few testing locations in the UK. I don't know if it ever made general distribution. If it did, there couldn't have been many of them. I certainly never saw one on my many arcade travels.

@UridiumAuthor @JazRignall That good to know, I never knew that the budget "Rackit" release was an updated game. Most C64 programmers release a game and that's it set in stone, I like the fact that you carried on, fixed things and brought out better versions. Thanks for the great games over the years.

@JimStoneCraft @JazRignall Gribbly`s Second Day Out, with 16 new levels, of which "Special Day Out" was one, did make it to print as a budget release.

40 years ago, I was playing and reviewing this C64 Hewson release. These days we'd call it a mascot game, but back then it was just a platformer with a very cool, highly appealing character. A lot of fun, and I have very fond memories playing this during ZZAP!'s early days.

29th May 1985, Konami released Gradius in the arcades. This was the beginning of the journey for Vic Viper fighting the Bacterian empire, destroy the core! Here's some of the art I made to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Gradius, 1985-2025 #グラディウス #gradius #gradiusday

Two weeks... #gradiusday #gradius
