Gradius Gaiden is a shooting game on PSX. Which is one of a few Gradius games that can play with 2 players.
In the run, I controled 2 players to make more entertainment such as killing less enemy, writing something on screen.

It was Gradius, it was fast, and it was entertaining! Thank you for this submission, I really enjoyed it. My only complaint is the game is a bit long so the ideas start to drag out, but it is still an easy yes vote from me.
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

Too much everything "Gradius" on the screen xD Yes vote
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Stunning work. I have to admit it could get quite hard to follow everything that was going on with so many projectiles on screen and two players, but at the same time I couldn't believe how you get through all of this without getting hit. Absolute yes vote from me as well. This was a treat.

Incredible choreography, very well played.

Ok this was great. Going into this my first impressions were 'this is just like when I enjoyed watching the gradius 1 and 3 playaround TASes, nostalgic!' But then it got insane in stages 4 and 5. The PS1 can have so many sprites at once without slowdown and the screen becomes such a mess that I cackle out loud. Keeping enemies spawned the entire time on the final boss was a great way to spice up the ending, too. Great work.

Quick note: The TAS syncs on Rev 1 (or v1.1, according to the BizHawk title bar). It will desync at the Moai stage on version 1.0. Anyways, masterful work. Yes vote.
