We suggest that you read this instruction manual thoroughly before playing the game.

His proud parents, Ma & Pa Deltoid, named their only son Zelos, which in alien lingo means "one mean son of a gun." As Zelos grew into an adult space monster, his appetite turned ravenous, his temper became ruthless, and his name proved an understatement. It didn't take long for Zelos to leave the nest and go out on his own, devouring everything in sight, including three galaxies, four hundred planets, two trillion life forms and a side order of stars. Then your innocent galaxy appeared on Zelos's menu, and he chowed on an entree of roast Gradius, with the planit Latis for dessert. Now, the only chance these civilizations have of escaping from his digestive tract lies with you and your starfighting partner. But your odds look pretty grim, for Zelos is full of floating armada terror zones, which are cities that have become a part of Zelos after being eaten. Each of these zones is loaded with tremendous firepower and unbelievable destructive suprises. You'll also find that Zelos's heart and soul are positioned safely behind his traitor fleet. That means you'll have to devastate the six Terror Zones and pblast away their grotesque mayor before reaching Zelos's main artery and putting an end to his eating binge. HOW TO PLAY Soaring on the fringes of the Gradian Galaxy in an ultra-blasting, warp speed starship, your mission is to destroy Zelos at all costs. Success won't come easy, though, as you dodge thousands of alien attackers, utilizing your tremendous flying skills. You better have an itchy trigger finger as well, because you'll gain bonus weapons by wasting certain enemies, capturing their pods and then powering up. (See Page 8) - 4 - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life Force can be played by either one or two starfighters. If two play, you fight as a team to save the galaxy. To pilot the Vic Viper from the planet Gradius, choose Controller (1). To pilot the RoadBritish Space Destroyer from the planet Latis, choose Controller (2). THE STARSHIPS OF HEROES [ Image of Vic Viper ] The Vic Viper Constructed at the cost of 60 trillion Gradian Dollars, the Vic Viper is the pride of all Gradius. A pilot can pull 600 G's at a warp speed of 9 in this baby and still feel like he is lounging in a La-Z-Boy (R). [ Image of RoadBritish ] The RoadBritish Space Destroyer The people of Latis have always been known for their wondorous engineering skills, and the RoadBritish Space Destroyer proves it. In fact, this is the only starship in the galaxy to have beaten the Vic Viper during time trials. - 5 - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONTROLLING THE ACTION [ Image of Controller ] Control Pad Use to guide your starship.

Force Field When activated this gives you awesome protecttion against enemy fire. - 8 - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE TERROR ZONES Cell Stage 1 The first terror zone you'll encounter comes from the Phenom Galaxy. Awaiting you here is the dreaded death hand, a menace that has proved fatal to less skillful starfighters. Volcanic Stage Terror Zone II is a disaster area from the Baltic Galaxy. This is one of Zelos's favorite allies, since he gets his jollies having molten lava spit in your face. The Prominence Stage Scorching fire creatures rage out of control in Terror Zone III. And of the hundreds of previous pilots, only a handful have blasted outta here without getting their tails burned. Cell Stage 2 Tiny life forms from the Ithaca Galaxy roam Terror Zone IV. It's here that you'll also be pitted against ferocious internal cells that'll zap you when you least expect it. Temple Stage Oh no! The ancient city of temples from the planet Latis has turned against you. What a heartbreaker. Whoever is piloting the RoadBritish will be flying low, as he'll have to blast these expatriates. Mechanical City Stage Zelos's final barrier is naturally his most destructive. If you make it past here you only have the mighty one's heart to destroy. For the sake of millions, let's hope you survive. - 9 - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE ENEMY DEFENSES - UNIVERSAL SCUM [ Originally in no order -- organized by Zone ] ZONE 1 Belbeim Sharpcrosser Death Hand ZONE 2 Ug Balganis ZONE 3 Spit Ball Prowler ZONE 4 Jellyp ZONE 6 Moay - 10 - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ZONE 1 Octa ZONE 2 Gremlin ZONE 3 Phoenix Fire Sphere ZONE 4 Bamuda ZONE 5 Crash Bam Lash ZONE 6 Amarkhand Heads Iron Maiden Glopter - 11 - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE ENEMY MAYORS AND THEIR MIGHTY GOVERNOR Golem Cruiser Tetron Intruder - 12 - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tutanhamanattack Giga Zelos's heart and soul - 13 - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Treat Your Konami Game Carefully - This Konami Game Pak is a precision-crafted device with complex electronic circuitry.
