Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou/Video Index

Note: the Old version of Gradius II has extends set to 20k and every 70k. This causes an infinite pattern in stage 5 during the jumping moai section. Because each moai awards points even when they self-destruct, and spit out several rings that can be milked, it's possible to stay in a safespot milking rings until timeout, gain an extend, suicide, restart at the checkpoint and repeat this process indefinitely. Konami released a second version of Gradius II with extends set to 20k and every 150k, with the jumping moais not awarding points when they self-destruct to address this issue. This version is the one used in almost every rerelease.
