    Hi everyone,
    I just had to re-blog this amazing post from Gaming History 101. It contains a podcast episode about Salamander/Life Force, one of my all-time favorites in the schmup genre.

    Please spend some time listening to the podcast, as it contains a lot of interesting information on the game. 🙂 Highly recommended!
    I used to play the MSX-version quite a lot in the past and I still have my old cartridge in my collection.
    Hope you’ll enjoy it and that you’ll pay Gaming History 101 a visit.
    Have a good evening and thanks for reading!
