Lifeforce / Salamander (NES)

Originally broadcast on 2015-09-26.

A side-story from the Gradius series; You're going into a living alien planet to kill it. You're almost like a lethal injection of poison, and the body has a very weak immune system.

2025 EDIT: This was part of a series I was doing called "Farewell Konami", as a response to the famous Japanese publisher, at the time, ceasing development of new games, and focusing entirely on pachinko and slot machines.

Needless to say, it didn't pan out all that well in the long run.
