Retronauts double-header

micro 21 cover

Hey! I forgot to post last week's episode here! Oh well. Now you get two at once.

First: The latest episode, a Micro look at Namco's Rolling Thunder. You kids seem to like Bob's music-heavy episodes, and as it happens this game has rad-as-hell music. So rock on out to this one. I wonder if all the great music in this game informed Sega's decision to make the bad guys in Space Channel 5 basically look like the Maskers in Rolling Thunder...?
