Salamander's great on the PC Engine. The only part that almost-not quite though- ruins it is the terrible slowdown and flicker on bosses. Love the game though. I'd like to own the PCB someday.

And what exactly was that guy saying in the inner stomach chamber? It always sounded like "Flame Corruption!!"

Beautiful game. My favorite shooter on the NES. Giga, that sickening skull at the end of Stage 4... Best. Boss. Ever.
That would be Gradius II. And yeah, the NES port did look great.Originally posted by Ex Ranza
Also remember looking at the Famicom version of Life Force 2 in EGM and thinking "man, it looks alot like 16-bit!" Too bad the sequel never came out here.
As I recall they were different though. I remember slamander was earlier and had simpler graphics, but I liked them better for some reason.Originally posted by burgundy
I also think that Life Force is a *much* better name than Salamander.
Salamander had a much more traditional power-up system. There were no capsules / upgrade bars... just standard shooter-type power-ups.
