NES Works 118: Fist of the North Star & Mystery Quest
🕑 Added 2023-11-29 12:48:23 +0000 UTCI remember one time I babysat my then-elementary-aged nephew. He was undergoing a brief fascination with 8-bit games because the pixelated look reminded him of Minecraft, so I sat him down in front of my NES capture station so he could have a proper experience. We played a few familiar games like Mario, but eventually he wanted to branch out and try different things. So I let him browse the game list, where he quickly seized on Mystery Quest, because it sounded interesting to him. He played for a while and didn't complain, but I can't help but note that it was the last time he ever asked to play NES games again.
Anyway, Mystery Quest isn't even the worst of the two games featured this week.

I legit never knew either of these games got release here. I thought this was one of the NES Gaiden episodes for Japanese releases at first.

I had a friend who was obsessed with Mystery Quest! Not sure why, he wasn’t starved for games.
