![]() The MSX version of Salamander is even more arranged than the FC Salamander/NES Lifeforce. Yeah, I like how Konami does that rearranging thing with the home ports. The FC stage 2 is the arcade stage 4 with the stage 2 boss tacked onto the end, and the FC stage 4 and 5 are original stages.Īlso, most of the music in FC Salamander is from the arcade Salamander, but one tune from Life Force snuck in. FC Salamander doesn't have the arcade version's stage 2 or stage 5. _ĭon't forget that, as with the FC Gradius II and the SFC Gradius III, the stages were rearranged and modified somewhat. Salamander (MSX) - The MSX game is a whole other ball of wax entirely, but at least it was never released anywhere as "Life Force" to my knowledge. For maximum confusion, yes, it was renamed "Life Force" for its North American release. Salamander (FC/NES) - The Famicom title by this name is a sort of hybrid of the two Japanese arcade games (mix of organic and mechanical levels like Salamander, Gradius power bar like Life Force) though it more closely resembles Salamander. Life Force (Arcade) - For some reason Konami redid Salamander with the Gradius power up system and replaced mechanical enemies with more organic ones, and called this new mess "Life Force" even though the name had already been taken (by non-Japanese arcade versions of Salamander, see above.) This game was only released in Japan and it's the "Life Force" you'll find on the Salamander Deluxe Pack. ![]() When released in arcades outside of Japan it was called Life Force, setting the stage for major confusion later. Salamander (Arcade) - the original arcade game with ports everywhere, including the deluxe pack. There are three different games called Life Force.
