Salamander, retitled Life Force in North America and in the Japanese arcade re-release, is a scrolling shooter arcade game by Konami. Released in 1986 as a spin-off of Gradius, Salamander introduced a simplified power-up system, two-player cooperative gameplay and both horizontally and vertically scrolling stages. Some of these later became normal for future Gradius games.
Salamander was followed with a sequel in 1996 titled Salamander 2.

I used to beat this game a few times a week when I was a kid! Sadly, one of my "friends" stole it from me.

[@AaronLycan-ld2wo]

Sorry to hear that somebody stolen your game.

Similar thing happened to me with my copy of Karnov.

Why Konami decided to radically change the story and setting of the game?
Salamander wasn't cool sounding enough?

[@NekuGrandChase]

Man, this makes me want to play Parodius.

Epico

[@lancelnce]

Is this Gradius 2?

[@Bos_Meong]

same universe as gradius

[@emyore9376]

Gradius Spin-off. In some gradius (I think from the three if not the second as well) there is even cross over with some salamander bosses and with the music as well

[@ikagura]

Yes and no, I'm pretty sure Konami wanted the sequel to have a different name like how Galaga is basically Galaxian 2 then reverted to Gradius.

[@MarcosValverde_mcs]
