Gradius is a horizontally-scrolling shoot 'em up released by Konami in 1985 for video arcades. It is the first game in the long-running and popular Gradius series.
Gradius has the distinction of popularizing a weapon selection bar, based upon collecting power-ups to 'purchase' additional weapons. The game was ported to many systems, most notably the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Japanese MSX computer. Gradius is considered a highly influential game and has set the foundation for many other horizontal shooters for years to come [citation needed].
Gradius was released in North America and Europe as Nemesis.
