Gradius was ported to most of the home computers and consoles of the time. Gradius was the spiritual successor to Scramble (1981). Due to its popularity, there were many Gradius sequels, most notably Salamander (1986), Gradius II: Gofer’s Revenge (1988), Gradius Gaiden (1997) and Gradius V (2004). Gradius inspired the mother of all side-scrolling shooters – R-Type (1987), a game that would define the genre thereafter.
