As we can return odds, we're going to shoot that core.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to another exciting episode of RetroNoths.

It's me, Jeremy Parish, sitting in a hotel room powered by fire-breathing funny cars.

Yeah, we're here at Long Island Retro Gaming Expo, and while we're here,

I thought it would be good to talk about the Gratius series, because I've been writing about Gratius

a lot all of a sudden, thanks to NES works and Super NES works. And as it happens, we have someone

here on our panel at Long Island who wrote a book on Gratius. So it just seemed like a cosmic

connection that we needed to make, and therefore that's what we're doing. So, guest of honor,

why don't you introduce yourself? I'm Kurt. Collada, I run Hardcore Gaming 101, and we put a whole

book about Konami shooters, which includes Gradius, Twinbee, Perdius, and the, at least,

dozen other types of shoot-em-ups that Konami put out. And also here with Kurt.

You haven't written a book about Gratius, right?

No, I've read books about Gratius.

Oh, that's pretty good. Sorry.

My name is Rob Russo, also known as Zerxes. Unfortunately, I started using Internet Handle before I

realized that people would call me that in real life. You don't want to be mistaken for a character

from 300? No. Well, that guy, yes, definitely. The guy from 300, that's what I want people to

visualize, and you're thinking me. But I just got in the podcast with the amazing app.

I always confuse with the guy from, not the guy, the AI from System Shock 2.

I'll live with that too. But no, you can just call me Rob. And I do Hardcore Gaming 101's podcast,

and it's called the Top 47,858 Games of All Time. I have a problem with names. I just realized.
