Game Summary

A horizontal shooter.

Hardware Platform: -Unique or Unknown-

Game Details

Parodius is a comical, horizontal shooter much like Konami's Gradius. In fact that's how the game got its name. Parodius is a parody of Gradius. This game is very fun and colorful, while containing all the elements vital to a great shooter. Neat weapons and power-ups, wacky bosses, and funky music puts Parodius in a league of its own.
