This section is all about the effort of Rob Strangman, OPCFG (from USA) because all information included here are provided by (and extracted directly from) him, the official USA releases and the US instruction manuals of Gradius. Thanks Rob !

Rob: That's it, we never got any other Gradius games - officially. We never got the Salamander games (just Life Force), or any Parodius games - we didn't even get any of the Twinbee games, except for Twinbee 2, which Konami of America renamed Stinger (it came out for the NES in 1987).
