In celebration of #GradiusDay here's a video of me playing it 3 years ago on #MSX

I promise you, the muscle memory is still there.

Nemesis 2 on MSX

Today is #GradiusDay, one of the pioneers of the shoot'em'up genre, including selectable weapon upgrades.
The first game was released on #MSX and the second one is my favourite of the series.
Funny enough, in Europe it was called "Nemesis" instead.
Happy Gradius Day, friends! This amazing classic was first released in arcades 39 yeas ago today! #shmups #GradiusDay #Konami
