Episode 140 : Steel Empire (Genesis)

We revisit the shoot-em-up genre with a patron-requested episode all about Steel Empires for the Sega Genesis! Is this just another bullet-hell shmup for die-hards, or is this a shoot-em-up that has a little more to offer for everyone? We let you know our thoughts.

Also discussed, Jeremy P gets into his most recent attempt at playing Metal Gear Solid 4, we talk about chicken sandwiches, difficulty settings in video games, and (of course), a Sax-o-beat.

Want to get right to the game? Then jump in your zeppelin and fly to the 13:15 mark!
