Wow, the slow down on this game when you have a heap of powerups is massive. I really liked the first Gradius/Nemesis but this one is not good.

Had a few games last night and agree, that second level was insane!

 

Spending more time configuring my ship than playing atm :lol

Which version are we playing? It appears the romset names were changed at some point. In 106, gradius3 is the Japan version, but in more recent versions, it appears to be the World version.

 

Older MAME gradius3.zip is the Japan version, I was playing the gradius3e.zip, your post made me check.

 

Cheers, I hope it is easier than what I playing the other day!

OK, comparing the world version with the Japan version, it appears the Japan version has Japanese text over the III in the Gradius III logo, and even though he's got the dipswitch settings over top of that, you can see the text over the III. The world version doesn't have any text over the III, so I guess this one is supposed to be the Japan version.

Thats what I am guessing @OOO might want to clarify?

 

Also the Japan version lets you select an easier version at the start, so are we allowed to play that one? After some research it only gives

you three stages then loops.

Japan version if you have it and do not pick the beginner stage with only 3 levels ...

When you press start, the default selection on the left is to be taken ...

Ah crap, I had the japan version in the first place & replaced it with world ver. That means I'll have to play this again ...

 

Control of the ship is awful & collision detection is weird, are there even any good powerups ? I got the double but it was more like half :lol

14800 I have been playing games since the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64 were new and must say this is one of the least enjoyable games I have played. This should have been buried with all those E.T cartridges. <img src="http://www.aussiearcade.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=80718"/><img src="http://www.aussiearcade.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=80719"/>

 

I'm was also raised on A2600 and C64 shortly after my ColecoVision. There is a documentary all about how they actually found the landfill with all those ET cartridges!

Biggest problem with this is once you lose your first ship it's pretty much game over, makes you wonder how much play testing they did, maybe if you had just one ship & they removed your latest powerup/s when hit it would of been better.

 

I'm getting bad slowdown on L2 when there are heaps of bubbles on screen, changed a couple of settings but maybe my mame pc isn't upto it :unsure

I'm done with this one...I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I always die in that area by the lion looking guys, then I don't have any speed and die twice in a row right after. At least with the world romset, you don't lose the speed power up when you die.
