EPISODE 224: BEAMRIDER

Beamrider! Go, beamrider! (To the tune of "Greased Lightning"? No?)

In episode 224 of ATARI BYTES, we're playing the 1983 Activision spacey shoot 'em up BEAMRIDER. Blast the alien invaders because apparently the Earth shield you're "cleaning" is really more of an Earth sieve and aliens are flowing fast and free through that thing.
