Retronauts Micro Episode 21: "Early" access
Added 2015-09-05 18:19:51 +0000 UTCNot particularly early, I realize. Alas.
Anyway, here it is: The most recent episode. It's a look at a personal favorite, Namco's Rolling Thunder. Given the praise Bob's music episodes have received, I've made a conscious effort to spend more time here on the series' great music... something I've been a bit gunshy about to avoid stepping on Ray Barnholt's toes too much (remember 1UP's The Sound Test?). But the people demand what they demand! Hope you enjoy it.
And I'll make up for this episode's tardiness by posting the next episode early. Thanks for your patience...

I got super sad seeing this was a micro episode. You guys should totes do a regular episode discussing Rolling Thunder, Elevator Action and similar games.
