NES Works #053: The Tengen trio

This is one such case: I know at least one of these games shipped in 1987 in the U.S., but despite putting quite a bit of effort into pinning down the particulars, precisely when and how many remains a mystery. I've checked as many online resources as I could stomach, and even attempted to sort things out by poking around old games magazines of the time—not that many existed in the U.S. in 1987. So I decided to just drop these games here and say, "Close enough."

I had Pac-Man and Rolling Thunder as a kid. Never really thought much of them looking different at the time. I just was there to play games haha.

This is all too real! I can poke around in some old newspapers online to see if any ads might shed some additional light, as that has helped me immensely. too late for the video, but hey, maybe you can toss an addendum into the description or something.
