A conversion of the Japanese coin-op game NEMESIS, this is the game that introduced America and the rest of the world to *real* side-scrolling shooters and revolutionized the gaming world forever. The screen-hugging bosses, weird backgrounds, and enemies that moved and behaved like creatures instead of stiffly-moving robots have been incorporated into countless games, and not to mention this was one of the first games where you had control over your power-ups! It was such a huge influence that Konami made at least 7 sequels and spinoffs of it, including Salamander, Gradius III, and the super-cute Parodius series. It's very hard, but worth your while. If you have MAME, then download it for crying out loud!
