Salamander (also known as Life Force), a spin-off from the Gradius series, is now available on MiSTer FPGA. This classic Konami shoot ’em up features both horizontal and vertical-scrolling levels, offering a unique gameplay experience. Originally released in 1986, the game was later ported to various platforms, including the NES and PC Engine, with notable changes in its North American version.

The MiSTer FPGA implementation allows players to enjoy the game with enhanced accuracy and performance, thanks to the dedicated FPGA core that replicates the original hardware. This release is part of a broader effort to preserve and make classic arcade games accessible on modern platforms. The game is known for its challenging gameplay, innovative level design, and the ability to switch between horizontal and vertical scrolling stages seamlessly.

I’m Mubarak AlSabah, born in ’87, and I’m a big fan of retro games. I’ve been gaming since ’93, so it’s been a lifelong passion for me. Collecting retro games is my favorite hobby, and I have a great collection that takes you back in time. In addition to gaming, I also have 830+ premium domain names, which is another hobby that I love just as much. I started collecting domains in ’97, combining my interest in the digital world with my love for nostalgic gaming.
