Seeing also how we shoot these weird cat-heads during this portion of the level… yeah, it must all have been all set-up. When looking on these inspirations to some of the furniture in that level, it’s clear that the developers didn’t want to pass the opportunity to do little nods to this arcade classic! (Radio, if substituting it with jukebox, it’s 90’s counterpart). We’ve already seen that they managed to steal some kitchen goodies…īut later on, you come across them having what looks like a jukebox, televisions and computers.įittingly enough, these are one of the loots Mappy has to collect in his game!

Gotta Map-Jump your way to the victory… I mean, this entire map of a story is nothing but a series of hallways with bottomless pits! And it’s apparently sustained by trampolines.Īs you might know, you control a police mouse in this game, collecting all the stolen loot stolen from a kittycat gang.Īs I was doing so, I had a feeling of seeing something like this before.Īs you know, Sexy Parodius already had the mice steal furniture as a set-up for the mission in it’s Castlevania-level. Gradius (also known as Nemesis) is a classic horizontal side scrolling arcade shooter released back in 1985 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

So much more than a shopping arcade, it exudes an air of luxury and is lined with boutiques, a seven-star hotel, landmark restaurants and cafés, including Savini, Camparino and Biffi. Following its inauguration, dozens of elegant shops opened under its vaults. An integral part of the pulsating heart of the city for almost 150 years, it is a monument, a covered arcade and home to exclusive shops and restaurants. One of the oldest trade centres in the world, from the time that it was built the Galleria became a city favourite for evening strolls, a place of demonstrations and a meeting point for the Milanese bourgeoisie, artists, academics and musicians, including Giuseppe Verdi and the Futurists.
Its centre – the socalled “ Ottagono” – is surmounted by imposing mosaics representing different parts of the world (Africa, America, Asia and Europe) to celebrate the centrality of the city in the world’s global economic and cultural system. The architectural work of this stunning arcade, which serves as a passageway between piazza del Duomo and piazza della Scala, boasts a blaze of marble, stuccoes and mosaics and is dominated by an amazing iron and glass dome standing fifty metres high. To celebrate the Unification of Italy, between 18, based on a project by architect Giuseppe Mengoni, Milan built the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, named after the first king of Italy. Situated in the centre of Milan, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is an extraordinary feat of architecture, an emblem of Milanese identity featuring a meld of beauty, art and luxury under an amazing glass roof.
