Playing four game at once can be a challenge. We seen a Mario quad run, a Mega Man quad run, a Mega Man X tri run, and Final Fantasy V and VI played side by side, why not do a quad run related to Gradius? This might prove that Konami had been making the same game again and again. The controls are reversed on the first game, that would make the missiles less practical.

Could be tricky, for the same reason that it'd be more interesting than most quad runs: there's no obvious way to "desynchronize" the runs so that one movie can do things differently from the others. Consequently, the fact that all four movies are running off the same input would be much more visually apparent, unlike in most quadruns. If anyone wants to take up this daunting challenge, they have my (functionally useless) support!

A 2 player quad run would be more unique imo

I think I already saw this. It had Gradius, Top Gun and two other games. I posted it on tasvideos a while back (repost from nicovideo)

I have done Gradius + Life Force for a couple of minutes once upon a time (edit: 2006). You can see the WIP here: http://bisqwit.iki.fi/kala/bisqwit-gradiusdual.avi (2.5 minutes) FCM: http://bisqwit.iki.fi/kala/bisqwit-gradiusdual.fcm But I second the notion that someone did a movie which included also Top Gun. I don't remember whether it had these two games, though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kfhWs6K4NE oh, this is made by me but I uploaded this to nicovideos with another account. So Nahoc said this is played by qwerty. I'm working on this, however, this is much more difficult than Mario quad or MMX300%..... I have to take around 200,000 re-records without lua or bot.....
