Shmups!

In today's episode Chris takes us on a journey through a slice of history for the Shmups genre of video games. A wide range of games and composers in this one as we listen to shoot 'em up spaceship games (ala Galaga) across four decades of arcades, PC, and console releases. Strap in and get ready to blast off (and trance a bit) as these songs find a new home in your heart and in your brain.
