Gradius is Konami's horizontal shoot 'em up series. Similar games are R-Type, Silpheed, Phalanx, Darius, In the Hunt, Z-Out, Einhander, and Katakis. Over the years, the Gradius series has spawned a decent amount of sequels. The original Gradius was released in 1985. In the Gradius saga, you pilot the most advanced starship known as the Vic Viper. This series has always put you up against hulking, difficult bosses and in the PS2 installment, Gradius 5, the developers went over board and decided to take Gradius to a whole new level of intense action. Konami has also made a parody series on Gradius known as Parodius.
What does Chancellor otto von bismarks quote blood and iron mean? By blood he means the deaths of wars and by iron he means the technology used in these wars like cannons, machine guns etc.. Edit
Iron is an important nutrient within the body. It combines with protein to make the hemoglobin in red blood cells and is essential in the production of red blood cells (erythropoiesis). The body stores iron in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.hite blood cells survive anywhere from a few hours to a few days, platelets for about 10 days, and red blood cells for about 120 days. These cells must be constantly replaced by the bone marrow as each blood cell has a set life expectancy. Certain conditions may trigger additional production of blood cells.
