Gentlemen,
I know that this thread will be insignificant to most, but it meant the world to me. When I was a child I owned this game, but could never get past the first level 8 boss. Fast forward to last December and I started playing it again. Finally beat the game (on normal) last weekend. I kept dying on the last level where the wall regenerates right on top of my ship. Finally figured it out. Although my accomplishment warrants little praise, IMHO, Gradius 3 is one of the most fantastic side scrolling shooters in existence. I love the hell out of it. A buddy of mine does not like it because of the lag that occurs when you are fully powered up, but I am not sure I would have been able to beat it otherwise.
