For best results view at 1080p60fps. It's another episode of Utterly Pointless Comparisons! Today I show you a complete game comparison of the original arcade version of Gradius II along with its PC Engine Super CD port. A lot of people used to say this version was perfect back when it was new... but was it really? Watch this video and find out!

This is a long play or let's play style video that includes a complete playthrough of both versions of the game at the same time with commentary throughout. What a miracle technology is.
