NES Works Gaiden #55: Lot Lot & Penguin-kun Wars
🕑 Added 2022-12-14 12:58:32 +0000 UTCGood news! This is it for NES Works Gaiden 1985, and I won't be pursuing the Famicom library into 1986 and beyond except to point out interesting releases here and there. We did it. We made it through. Thanks for sharing this tempestuous ride with me. At least these last two entries are pretty OK.
Next week: We jump into 1986, but in America, and with Sega.

Lot Lot strikes me as something that would've been relatively easy to turn into a better version with a sequel. At the very least, a two-player co-op mode seems like a natural addition (and would potentially result in violence between the players as communications broke down, which is always a positive). Add in a few powerups - speed increase, one-off bombs to destroy the balls in a chamber, some limited control over the walls - and you could have something pretty engrossing, I think.
