Retronauts Micro Episode 3: Zillions and Zillions of years ago...

Hello there! The holidays have come and gone and a new semester has arrived. And this time we're greeting the new school year with a look at a minor (and generally forgotten) video game classic: Sega's Zillion for Master System.

You can get the full scoop on this episode over at USgamer, but I know how annoying it can be to make that extra mouseclick, so here is the show in its entirety. All seven minutes of it. Hey, it's a Micro episode. Whaddya want?

Out of curiosity, how many of you fine listeners have actually played Zillion? Either back in the day or through the magic of emulation counts. I'd love to hear more about what the latter areas of the game are like, because I certainly never made it to the end....
