Salamander (Life Force in North America) is a spinoff of the Gradius series released by Konami for arcades. The game was later ported to home consoles and computers.

Gameplay

It is similar to Gradius, except that two players can participate in the same game at the same time, the player's new ship appears right in the middle of the ongoing action instead of starting over from some "checkpoint" position, and in some versions you can collect the specific power-up that appears rather than waiting to collect enough power-up pods to activate the desired power-up. There is a total of six levels in the game; the odd-numbered levels are all horizontal, while the even-numbered levels are vertical. At the end of every level there is a boss creature that you must defeat; at the end of the sixth, there is also a series of rapidly closing gates that you must navigate safely through to escape.
