NES Works Gaiden #021: Famicom ’84 Pt. 2
🕑 Added 2021-04-07 17:44:38 +0000 UTCWhoops! I almost forgot to post this. The, uh, devil made me (almost not) do it.
Only three games in this NES Works Gaiden compared to the eight last time around, but that's because two of these never made their way to the U.S. versus almost all of the first-party early ’84 titles. I did cover Devil World in passing a very long time ago on NES Works, but this is a proper review that, I think, better defines what it's about and why it's notable.
Really, though, the star of this episode is Galaxian, which sees Namco making its debut as a third party. There's a lot of history there...

Nintendo’s releasing Devils World tomorrow on NSO. Got to watch the NESWORKS Giaden episode.

Could you please do a retrospective of dragon warrior/quest? That seems like a series that needs to be covered sooner rather than later. 😊
