NES Works #097: Cobra Command & Anticipation
🕑 Added 2022-07-20 12:11:02 +0000 UTCWell, here we are. Some more NES games.
This week's selections are notable for being cartridges that you could insert into a Nintendo Entertainment System and play on your television. And, uh... that's about it, really.
Well, no, that's not fair. I almost, almost really like Cobra Command, which evolves the Choplifter formula on NES. If the controls and scrolling weren't so combative, I think it could have been a classic. And Anticipation... it's fine. It was the NES's first four-player release, which counts for something, I think? Yeah. It's fine.
It's all fine. I'll live. The really good stuff is coming soon.

If I am ever become an informant, I sincerely hope my code name is Stiffen Wolf.

I was going to let it be a surprise but the wait is just killing me: do you know when you'll get to Bionic Commando? It's the sort of game that feels tailor-made for your thorough brand of commentary.
