Aside from Pentarou, only some of the Parodius-native characters (Octopus and the like) appear in this game. This game is a turn-based strategy game based on Cosmic Wars, which plays similar to the Nintendo Wars series. There is also a spin-off named Paro Wars. Only a few of the games were released outside Japan: Parodius Da! －Shinwa kara Owarai e－ and Gokujō Parodius! were released in Europe (as Parodius and Fantastic Journey respectively), but none of the games were released in the United States. The first three episodes of the series were released in Japan for cell phones. The last two titles were also released on both the PlayStation and Sega Saturn.Ī compilation of all Parodius games (with the exception of Paro Wars) titled Parodius Portable have been released for the Sony PSP as a UMD release on January 2007 in Japan. The PlayStation and Saturn versions were a combined release of Parodius Da! －Shinwa kara Owarai e－ and Gokujō Parodius! called Gokujō Parodius Da! Deluxe Pack. Gokujō Parodius! was ported to the Super Famicom, PlayStation and Saturn. Parodius Da! －Shinwa kara Owarai e－ was ported to the Game Boy, Famicom (NES), Super Famicom (SNES), PC Engine, PlayStation and Sega Saturn. The Octopus Saves the Earth was converted to mobile phones, to Virtual Console of the Wii and Wii U and to EGG Project from Windows Store. Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius (1995, Super Famicom).Fantastic Parodius - Pursue the Glory of the Past (1994, arcade).Parodius! Deluxe Edition (2004, Mobile Phone, for Konami Net DX).Parodius! From Myth to Laughter (1990, arcade).Parodius: The Octopus Saves the Earth (1988, MSX).Might be a good "beginner's guide into cult classics", but I prefer their other books, like the Guide to Classic Graphical Adventures, where Kurt rants for like 6 pages on why Snatcher is so cool.There are Six games in the Parodius series (arranged by title, year of its debut and original platform) In addition, three Pachislot games based on the characters were released in 19.: Takes like 10 minutes to read about all the RPGs on the list. the articles aren't indepth enough for you to really learn about the game & what makes it special, yet 200 games among ALL games is rather short. Most puzzling of all is this Arcanum article, where they actually recommend Lionheart.Īt about 200 pages long - one per game -, it's a mixed product. Like Metroid Prime -> King's Field: Ancient City.
Others do more of a bend, like Realms of Arkania 2: Star Trail -> Gothic 2 ('cause German). Not a fan of the paragraph format & small screenshots as well.īut I do like the "see also" recommendations, they are mostly spot on, like Jagged Alliance 2 -> Silent Storm. I dislike the layout, there's a lot of wasted space and the huge red & black contrast diminish everything else on the page.
