Santulli Slant: One of the earliest "horizontal shooters with power-ups and bosses", and to date one of the best. Gradius did for the "horizontal shooters with power-ups and bosses" genre what River City Ransom did for the "super deformed beat 'em-up with Merv Burger refreshments" genre. Wonderful graphics and perfect control. [Gr: 8, So: 7, Ga: 9, Ov: 9]
