by Konami
Genres:Shooter, Arcade
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Comedy
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Shoot'em ups don't come any weirder than Parodius - dodge through waves of killer penguins, neon rabbits and 50ft tall dancing girls. An intense experience of one or two players. This compilation collects the first two arcade incarnations of Konami's shoot'em'up parody series on one disc: Fantastic Journey (Gokujou Parodius) and Parodius (Parodius Da!). Unlike the ports seen on the SNES these are much more accurate to the original arcade version.Show more

Parodius was an extraordinary game that brilliantly parodied the shoot 'em up genre. The music was unforgettable, the characters and setting were completely unique, and despite its difficulty, it always felt beatable. A true classic that deserves to be remembered!
