Not long after a mysterious planet called Salamander appears, covers Latis in a dark gas, and causes natural disasters to occur. Doromo warns that this incident will now result in an old legend coming true, which states that a giant dragon will come to Latis to destroy it. Unfortunately, the obelisk is destroyed shortly after the removal is started, which results in the one in space being destroyed as well. Though warned by his adviser Dorobo that doing so might create problems, Lord British commands that the obelisk be removed. In the place where a museum is planned to be built construction workers found a Moai obelisk that looks exactly like the one that orbits Latis and functions as a marker for pilots. Though this OVA has never been given an official DVD release anywhere, it isn't exactly hard to find and it's an excellent case that video games can be made into really good anime.ĭuring a trip to multiple satellite planets, Prince Ike Lord British is summoned back to his home planet of Latis due to a discovery. It must have done very well, as nine months later a second episode came out and three months after that, in 1989, came a third and final episode. In 1988, Konami teamed with Pony Canyon and Studio Pierrot to adapt Salamander into an anime, which would then be released under the "Konami Video Collection" label the result was a 50-minute production that told its own variation of the game. Though it kept its original name when it came out in Europe the same year, when it finally came over to North America the title was changed to Life Force, and it's that name that many fans over here remember due to an excellent NES port. One year later a spin-off game came out called Salamander, which traded in Gradius' mechanical-styled enemies for a bio-organic look.
Debuting in 1985, Gradius is one of Konami's most well-beloved and cherished video game series.
