In Episode 018, Addicted and MetalFRO take on the legendary shmup development studio, Toaplan, and dissect their first shooting game effort, Tiger-Heli! We look at this classic both in the arcade, as well as the Famicom/NES port, and see what makes it tick, as well as exploring the early Toaplan DNA found within the game, that you see more fully explored in later games. Is this game still worth playing? Listen, and decide for yourself!
