Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius (実況 (じっきょう)おしゃべりパロディウス, Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodiusu, "Chatting Parodius Live"), known on the Sega Saturn and PlayStation as Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius ~forever with me~ (実況 (じっきょう)おしゃべりパロディウス 〜フォーエバー・ウィズ・ミー〜, Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodiusu ~fōebā uizu mī~, lit. "Chatting Parodius Live ~forever with me~"), is the fourth game in a series of parody shooters produced by Konami. The gameplay is stylistically very similar to the Gradius series, but the graphics and music are intentionally absurd. The game, as its name would suggest, contains a large number of Japanese voice samples shouted out in a style similar to that of a game show host. Unlike the previous two titles, Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius was not created as an arcade game. It was first released on the Super Famicom in 199
