On this episode we looked over our OPTIONS and became LASER focused on a new topic! This is a special mixtape episode featuring the music of Gradius through the years! That’s over one-hour of awesome space shoot-em-up jams! Hop in the Vic Viper, hit START, and shoot the core! Don’t forget the Konami code, because this mix is SO good you’ll want to play it again!
This episode was inspired by the awesome documentary series by Chris Baines: The History of Gradius! Check it out after listening to this mix!
