NES Works 123: Operation Wolf & Airwolf
🕑 Added 2024-01-17 12:00:07 +0000 UTCIt's a video game retrospective and a look at the historic and cultural trends that shaped so much of what we saw in the media during the 1980s. I wish the games in question were better and that the trends were more cheerful, but this is the material I have been given by history.
Personally, if I were on the public relations advisory board for wolves, I'd probably recommend legal action over the defamatory nature of these games.

The Japanese version of Airwolf was the second Famicom game I imported, mainly due to the music, but playing them back to back there was a clear winner. I have to wonder exactly how much money Acclaim saved by not licensing the serviceable arcade port and instead commissioning Beam. I can’t imagine the savings were that immense.

You don't get the former without the latter!

I love how this retrospective on video games has turned into a treatise on US geopolitics and the national psyche during the 1980s.
