Yet another cameo has been found, Speed King NEO KOBE 2045, thank to Deadmario again.
'Gradius to sort' - 4.38GB, 6536 files.
Slowly getting there.
3rd May 2008
I deleted all the little bits and bobs you get when saving web pages (3431 of them!!!) so the 'Gradius to sort' should be more manageable now.
'Gradius to sort' - 8.36GB, 7648 files.
Some of these are movies so the size should go down quite a bit when I move them out into the Movies directory.
More Cameo's added:-
LA BlueGirl, Poitter's Point and Poitter's Point 2, Bishi Bashi Online, Nazo no Kabe - Block Kuzushi.
I've move the Cameo page about a bit putting the Anime and Moai referances in thier own section.
2nd May 2008
Large update to the Cameo section, Games added:-
Dream Mix TV World Fighters, Falsion, Hayate the Combat Butler, Metamorphic Force, Violent Storm, Doremikko, Trigon, Ganbare Goemon: Uchuu Kaizoku Akogingu, Pani Poni Dash!, Knightmare II: The Maze of Galious, Penguin Adventure, Ganbare Goemon 2, Pyuu to Fuku! Jogger Byuu to Deru! Megane-Kun, Pandora's Palace, Snatcher, Moai Kun, Aliens, Vic Viper.
Cameo section now has 58!!
The Cameo section would be better if I made a database for the section, so that you could list them by Console and Alphabetically, year etc...(may be added at a later date).
I've added thanks messages to most of the pages in the Cameo section for the people who helped.
Also made some of the fonts bigger as the Japanese Kanji where blurring into one.
Just thought I would add that my 'Gradius to sort' directory (all the stuff that has not been added to the site) is now 8.40GB, 11079 files, I'm going to try to go through this and add some stuff over the weekend (hopefully).

1st March 2008
Forget Salamander, twenty years since the true sequel to Gradius.
グラディウス ＩＩ ～ＧＯＦＥＲの野望～ (Gradius II ~ GOFER no Yabou ~) (aka Vulcan Venture), Happy birthday and lets celebrate the twentieth anniversary in style.
Salamander had some great speech but it was not until Gradius II GOFER no Yabou that the game just went into overdrive.
The games attention to detail was ahead of everything at the time with things like the name up sequence having different animations depending on where you scored, speech for all the weapons like 'Photon Torpedo' and 'Spread Bomb', different speech depending on how far you where into the game (You Need Some Practice, Arrrrrr).
Amazing music, excellent gameplay, four weapon choices, two shields, large flaming suns, a large phoenix and mocking speech from the enemies like 'You shall never return alive' and 'I'll bash you down', at the time this was just amazing stuff.
Also the game was a challenge but not impossible (Gradius III anyone!!).
I played the game at the PCW (Personal Computer World) show in 1988 at Earls Court London and there were queues waiting to play it (I did not get passed the Crystal stage btw).
So go and play it today as is still good to play now.
27th January 2008
Made a new Dark style for the forum to go with the Dark site style.
Cleaned up the smilie images in the forum so they look good on the Dark style.
11th January 2008
Made a small script to only show the other style link, ie when you are on the Dark Style GHW it only shows the Light Style GHW link, I may changed this to a button of some sort.
New random Gradius Home World logo for the Dark Style.
Changed the left and right table background images to alpha transparency.
Put a better 'Nebula' style stars background.
Changed the GameStone logo site wide to the new alpha transparency version.
Cleaned up lots of game images that had the lighter border so they look good on the Dark style.
Gashapon Vic Viper and SkyGirl Vic Viper models have been added.
8th January 2008
Moved the White and Black style switchers to the head of the page (top right), its now on every page so you can change site colours at any time and on any page, I may make two small buttons instead of the plain text but it will do for now.
2nd January 2008
Just a test at the moment for switching between White or Black background using two style sheets, it stores the value in a cookie so whatever you set it too it should be the same when you come back
Lots more to do like the text colours etc... but I've had enough for today.
Also cleaned up some of the Art Work php code.
New icon for the Games section
Changed lot of the images to transparent version so they look good on the black background, only Otomedius and Parodius Pachinko to go
1st January 2008
Happy new year!!
Two more my version navigation icons added, PS2 and PS3 (even though there are no games for it yet!!).
Also changed the black outside colour on most of the icons to a dark gray, they look much better now even on a black background.
Changed the aspect of the GB and GBA icons as they looked a bit fat.
I've decided that consoles and computers will have isometric icons but hand held's will be face on.
The 
for Fan based games is genius.
Changed the six flag icons to transparent PNG files so they look good on a black background.
As you can proberly guest (or maybe not) I'm in the process of changing the site so you can choose between White or Black backgrounds (two different style sheets), still lots of work to be done with logo's, images and other things.
Classic Star's again maybe!!
31st December 2007
I'm getting a bit carried away here as I'm changing some of the better small machine navigation images to my own versions.
All small machine navigation's now done, the Virtual one sucks but it will do for now.
Modified the Cheats page to show a larger version of the icon when on that particular system.
30th December 2007
Added better navigation to the Music CD section, still more work to be done though.
More art added to Otomedius.
Gradius PC Engine Cheats, hidden stages finally added, thanks King Moai.
I'm in the process of redrawing the small machine icons as some are crap (crossed out ones have been completed).
Arcade, C64, CPC 464-6128,, FAN, i-mode, LCD Game, MSX, PlayChoice 10, PC88-5INCH, PS2, PS, PSP, PC Engine, SPC, SS, Virtual (has not even got one yet!), X1, X68000 and ZX Spectrum.
All the new one's were drawn from scratch be me (apart from PS2 which was edited from another source). They all scale quite nicely so I may replace some of the other icon on the site with these new ones (Once I have finish the few missing/old ones).
29th December 2007
Expanded the Arcade Otomedius section quite a bit (finally added it too!!).
Also changed the flag images to a much nicer round version.
22nd December 2007
Still no news on PS3 Gradius even though Amazon UK are listing it as out on the 30th November 2007.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Konami-Gradius-PS3/dp/B000E69YIY
Amazon Japan are listing Gradius (PS3).
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82....
21st December 2007
Changed the Cheats section to a dynamic page rather than the long list of games, this was something I was planning on doing for ages.
Last 10 forum posts added to this page.
1st September 2007
Added Gradius for the i-mode to the Download/Games section, it has been converted to play in Windows but you can also download the original jar file too.
