Parodius Da! NES / Famicom

Parodius Da! is Konami's comic take on its own Gradius shoot 'em ups, where an octopus, a penguin and other odd heroes fly through levels full of showgirls, cats and giant pirate ships. The Famicom version, released in Japan in 1990, is a reworked conversion of the arcade game; it was never sold in North America.
