Gokujou Parodius - 1994 Developer Interview (Patreon)

http://shmuplations.com/parodius/ This lengthy and humorous interview with the Gokujou Parodius development team was originally featured in a mook published by Gamest in 1994. Gokujou Parodius was the second Parodius game released for arcade, and this interview shows the big difference between 1990 (pre-SFII, when Parodius Da! was released) and 1994, when most game centers were caught up in “fighting game mania.” Stage design, characters, and music are all discussed as well.
