Shoot the Core-cast - Focus Shot 001 - Mushihimesama
Announcing Shoot the Core-cast, a shmup-themed podcast to accompany the RF Generation Shmup Club! Each month, we play a different shooter, and in the podcast, we discuss each game at length, talking about the game's design, discuss strategy, share high scores, and just have fun! In Episode 01, we look at the original R-Type, an innovative title from developer Irem, and in Episode 02, we discuss Konami's Gradius, the game that set the standard for what horizontal shooters would be for the next 2 decades, and brought many innovations to the genre.
In Episode 052, MetalFRO and Addicted welcome guest Rena to the show to dive into the lore, game mechanics, & scoring of Deathsmiles!

Awesome FRO..On my radar for tomorrow
Re: Shoot the Core-cast Podcast - Episode 06 Now Online!
Totally forgot to announce Episode 07, our Atari 2600 Showdown! We took on 2 2600 proto-shmups in December, Imagic's Demon Attack, and Activision's Spider Fighter, to see which was the better representation of the genre, taking the lead from previous single-screen shooting games like Space Invaders, Galaxian, Phoenix, and Gorf. Which game holds up better, and held our attention more? Have a listen, and then let us know what you think!

Re: Shoot the Core-cast Podcast - Episode 09 Now Online!
Episode 009 is up now, all about Zanac, and some discussion of Zanac NEO!
This is Episode 009 of Shoot the Core-cast! In this edition, MetalFRO and Addicted look at Zanac, the classic NES shooter that most of us played as kids. Does it hold up? What's good about it? Why is it so well loved? To help us answer these questions, we called upon Collectorcast members Duke.Togo and Crabmaster2000, to weigh in on the game. We hope you enjoy it!

Re: Shoot the Core-cast Podcast - Episode 09 Now Online!
Welcome to Episode 010 of Shoot the Core-cast! This time around, MetalFRO and Addicted cover Crimzon Clover: World Ignition, the the hit PC shooter from Japanese doujin developer, Yotsubane! This danmaku game is quite special, and has been well received in the shooting game community. Here to help us discuss this game is Mark_MSX, from The Electric Underground Podcast! We cover the game's mechanics, try to "break" down the scoring, and look at its impact on the shmup scene over the last few years. Thanks for listening!

Re: Shoot the Core-cast Podcast - Episode 10 Now Online!
Episode 011 of Shoot the Core-cast is here, and it's all about the lone shoot-em-up produced by Japanese RPG factory, Squaresoft. During the mid-late 1990's, the company deviated somewhat from their RPG formula, and tried their hand at a few different genres. Ehrgeiz is an interesting wrestling/fighting game, Tobal No. 1 is a fighting game with some unique elements, and Einhander is a side-scrolling 2.5D shooter, wrapped in 3D graphics, and soaked in an esoteric, dystopian, cyberpunk, futuristic story. Complemented by a varied electronic soundtrack, this game brings a unique ability to take weapons from your enemies, and use them to defeat everything in your path. Over the years, the game has earned quite a reputation as one of the best shooters on the original PlayStation. Why is it so well loved, and what makes this game so special? We dive into that in this episode, and try to dissect this game, to see what makes it tick.

Re: Shoot the Core-cast Podcast - Episode 11 Now Online!
Just a quick one to say that I really enjoyed the Einhander and Crimzon Clover episodes. Not played many of the games covered so far but it's good to know there are shows there waiting when I do get to play them.
Re: Shoot the Core-cast Podcast - Episode 11 Now Online!
Thank you both very much! I appreciate the feedback, and thank you so much for listening
Re: Shoot the Core-cast Podcast - Episode 11 Now Online!
Here in Episode 012, MetalFRO and Addicted tackle one of the most difficult arcade shooters of all time, the legendary Gradius III, from Konami. Not only that, but we compare it to the much more friendly, and approachable port, released on the Super Famicom and SNES. Which version will we prefer, and which should you play? Have a listen, and hear what we think about these 2 iterations of the game.
