NES Works Gaiden

Lot Lot & Penguin-kun Wars retrospective: A crabby finale (2022x26)

:

With this episode, NES Works Gaiden comes to its true and proper end, at least in terms of chronicling the Famicom's early years. And it goes out, if not with a bang, then at least with a couple of games developed by reliable studios: HAL Laboratory and Pax Softnica. See, as dire as things got toward the back half of 1985, the Famicom wouldn't be entirely doom-and-gloom. You still had good and middling games by great and competent developers, sometimes.
