A personal favorite this week—in case you couldn't tell from the time and enthusiasm I lavished on this episode. Life Force is one of those games I used to play so much I could beat it in a single credit without the cheat code, and it was nice that I still have a decent amount of muscle memory for it. At the same time, it's been so long since I'd last played it, a lot of the specifics had faded from memory, so I got to revisit the game with an older and more seasoned perspective. Can you believe it?: It still rules.

Video Works is funded via Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/gamespite) — support the show and get access to every episode up to two weeks in advance of its YouTube debut! Plus, exclusive podcasts, eBooks, and more! Production notes: - NES and Famicom footage in this episode was captured from @Analogue Nt / Nt Mini / Nt Mini Noir via RGB out. - Standard definition video upscaled to 720 with xRGB Mini Framemeister and @Retro Tink 5X. There is a small amount of visual distortion in certain vertically scrolling sequences that the latest Retro Tink firmware update appears to address.
