I Can, You Can, 1CC is a new series designed to teach you how to clear difficult retro games in a single credit (inserting only a single coin…real or virtual…) Each video features in-depth commentary and step-by-step instructions that help you understand exactly how these games work. Not only will you be able to clear them, but you’ll understand why what you’re doing works!
Gradius is a 1985 arcade side-scrolling shooter from Konami that kicked off shooting game (shmup) mania, and it’s where I started my one-credit-clear journey! It may not be the absolute easiest shooter to clear in a single coin, but it’s achievable! And many of the lessons learned in this clear will set you up for success in other shooting games too!
