Ultra 64

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.  Hosted by Steve Guntli and Woody Ciskowski  Logo by Steve Guntli / Updated logo by Barry Shaw  Theme song: "Truck" by The Octopus Project (theoctopusproject.com)  ultra64podcast.com  Twitter: @ultra64podcast  Email: ultra64podcast@gmail.com  Instagram: @ultra64podcast Patreon: Patreon.com/ultra64pod Next week's episode: Jet Force Gemini
