| history | Gokujyou Parodius! - Kako no Eikou wo Motomete (c) 1994 Konami. The second arcade sequel to 1990's "Parodius Da!", this parody of Konami's "Gradius" series picks up where the first game left off. This time, it isn't only their own games that the Konami shoot-em-up mocks; other classics of the genre such as Irem's legendary "R-Type" - specifically the infamous mothership that forms R-Type's entire third level - are lovingly parodied. - TECHNICAL - Konami GX hardware Game ID : GX321 Main CPU : 68EC020 Sound CPU : 68000 Sound Chips : (2x) K054539 Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 288 x 224 pixels Screen refresh : 60.00 Hz Palette colors : 8192 Players : 4 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 3 - TRIVIA - The title of this game translates from Japanese as 'Fantastic Parodius! - Surpassing Its Former Glory'. This game is known outside Japan as "Fantastic Journey". The name of the fish character Mambo has a double meaning, he gets his name from the real life fish called Ocean Sunfish (or Mola Mola), but called Mambou in Japan. The other meaning is Mambo from the musical style, which is why the female partner character in this game is called Samba, yet another musical style.
