We're hitting the thrusters and blasting into hyperspace this week, as we take on one of the rarest genres on the N64, 2-D shoot-em-ups! We play the arcade space shooters STAR SOLDIER: VANISHING EARTH and ASTEROIDS HYPER 64, and look into the history of the "shmup," the impact of ASTEROIDS, and debate the appeal of the infamous "bullet hell" game.
