An evil race of deadly aliens have invaded a distant planet and the job of protecting them has fallen to you! Take to the depths of space in your badass Gradius space chip and use your powerful weapons to blast them all to pieces and save the innocents! Charge up and deploy photon missiles and laser beams as you smash the enemy's defences and destroy their hopes of domination in the amazing Gradius Galaxies!

For those loving this excellently cool and fun Nintendo Game Boy Advance flying game there are loads more for you to try from this genre, much like Prehistoric Isle in 1930, R-Type and the intensely cool Flying Shark!
