沙羅曼蛇

Salamander, also known as Life Force in some regions, is a 1986 arcade shoot 'em up game developed by Konami and the sequel to Gradius. It is known for its unique alternating horizontal and vertical scrolling levels and supports two-player simultaneous gameplay. Players control the Vic Viper and Lord British spaceships, battling through six stages. The game features impressive graphics and dynamic FM stereo sound, creating an immersive battle experience. Konami has ported the game to various platforms, and a sequel, Salamander 2, was released in 1996. In addition to the game, there is also a three-episode OVA anime adaptation by Studio Pierrot, which is based on the original game. The game's features include its alternating scrolling, two-player cooperative mode, and distinctive stereo sound. The game varies slightly in graphics and gameplay on different platforms. For example, the FC version of Salamander features changes to level design, graphics, and the energy system compared to the arcade version. The overseas version, Life Force, also modifies the game content, including the story, backgrounds, and enemy designs, which differentiate it from the original.
