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.

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.
