Parodius Prototype/octo.gif)
Parodius is the genuine
Japanese import experience. Though the shell of the
game does not vary much in terms of other side-scrolling
shooting games in the sky, as in the same vain of
Gardius, the incredibly bizarre and fun graphical
characters add a style that is unique to anything
else. Parodius, first released on the Famicom in 1990,
saw a release in all other continents but North America
two years later, making it one of the few Pal-only
titles on the NES.
More Information:
You can tell from the
label that this Parodius NES sample came from
Germany; and it is the PAL version.
I bought it from a Swiss
seller living in Bern, Switzerland. The "sample"
is in reality the whole version of the released game,
and all of the in-game text is done in English. While
playing through Parodius, I was not able to
find any differences between the released PAL version
and this PAL sample.
