Here in Episode 014, MetalFRO and Addicted pick apart a classic, late 90's shoot-em-up from famed developer, Psikyo. What makes Strikers 1945 II so well remembered? We dive into that, and hear from the RF Generation community as well, on what they like about the game. Some great discussion was had, and we definitely learned a few things about WWII era planes, as well!

Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy the episode! One minor thing to note - at the time we recorded the episode, the North American physical releases of the Psikyo collection of shooters hadn't been announced yet, as that was still a couple days away, which is why we didn't mention it in the episode.

Just a few thoughts while listening to the show during yard work today.

I did encounter slowdown in the Saturn version, but only in a few places, and only using TATE mode. The biggest spot was during the water stage with all the ships.

It sounds like it didn't stick with you two much, but I really liked the soundtrack. It's very 90s, and it has great energy. A few of these tunes have really stuck with me after play.

Great show as always, fellas.
