To play Gradius!

A little over a week ago I posted about an idea I had to showcase how people play Gradius. The "demo" video was basically me playing Gradius a bunch of times and layering those runs on top of each other.

Well... that's not nearly the true goal of the video. That's the average gameplay of Ronn. Who wants that!?

Ideally I'd like to create a longer video with more runs, where each represents a different person (instead of me playing 10 different ways).

So, I'm inviting all of you to submit runs! It's pretty simple, I have a "toolkit" that has the emulator (FCE Ultra) so that there's no compatibility issues down the road and a handy file that explains how to submit your run.

You can grab that here.

What's not included is the rom. I can't help you find it, just make sure you are playing the NES Gradius from the US. Rom discussions aren't tolerated.

Anyway... I am looking for the way YOU PLAY Gradius. Have fun, complete the stage, but play how you want. You must complete the 'first stage' for the submission to be accepted, but the first stage is really simple. It's a very short stage.

So if you think you are interested, I would love to have your submission! I would need your recorded gameplay by January 4th, which gives you a week. Thanks.
