Retro Gaming Revelry - Ep. 195 - Gradius

This week Jurek and Earl play Gradius on the NES to honor the recently passed Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the creator of the Konami Code! Gradius was the first game to use the code, giving your ship maximum power-ups once per level. You better believe the guys use the code liberally while playing! While the game is extremely difficult, it is still one of the better side-scrolling shooters on the NES. Come have a drink with us! Cheers! RIP Kazuhisa Hashimoto. None of us would have ever completed Contra without you. We salute you!
