Salamander
This game had dedicated cabinet.
Salamander 32px v1, 32px v2, 128px and Cocktail 128px, I've tried to get the scale of the machine the same as the Windy machines, still got to do the rear views yet.
Otomedius
オトメディウス
After four hours of pixel editing, here's my latest work, Otomedius arcade version.
It's based on the AM show image from Konami website.
I can now add Otomedius to Gradius Corner.
Solar Assault Gradius
ソーラーアサルトグラディウス
Four machine were made for this game, three were dedicated and one was a simulation machine.
50inch Sit Down
29inch Sit Down
Konami Windy
コナミ ウィンディ
I started with the 32x32 pixel version for the Arcade Games section on Gradius Home World, I then decided to do a more detailed version.
Doubling the size and re-edited it to add more detail, I've also started a 256x256 version but it's taking a very long time to add the needed detail and much more detail in needed due to the extra pixels.
32px, 64px v1, 64px v2, 64px v3, 64px v3 Top, 128px, 128px v2.
All images have been resized to make them the same size as the 128px version, otherwise they look like the two images below.
