PixelTunes Radio Episode 7: Shmup Trax

Shmups.  Shooters.  Shoot ’em ups.  No matter what you call them, one fact is true:  They showcase some of the best music that their consoles have to offer.  In this episode, we find out that Mike compares everything to UN Squadron, and Ed brings out his inner shoot ’em up snob.

Also, don’t miss our hilarious Zero Wing commercial, and learn about our (almost legal) Shmup Helper kit!
