Mike and Jerry are back with another certified banger:  Gradius for the NES.  OK, maybe it's not a banger.. and maybe it's not great.. and maybe Jerry tried to wrestle the cartridge out of my hands and destroy it.. but we had fun.  Sit back and enjoy listening to us prattle on about the development, reception, and legacy of Gradius, as well as listen to us discuss the game's collectability (is that a word?) and where the current speedrun records stand.

As always, thanks for listening!  You can find us at:
