SFCL Ep 005A: Ikaruga (Shmup & Treasure History)

SuperFamiCompLit exists as a video game book club that you are more than welcome to play along with! It’s a show in which we discuss games “in context” ie with respect to their canonical, spiritual and covert predecessors and descendants. While the show is primarily mechanically focused we talk about the in universe world as its relevant or… as we like! For each episode we choose a game to play and research as well as a group of optional “extra credit” games to play for comparison and contrasting. When things are up and running the plan is to release an episode a month.
