NES Works Gaiden #24: Summer Games & Desert Falcon [7800]
🕑 Added 2021-05-26 12:00:00 +0000 UTCAnother two-cylinder episode for 7800 this week, and another with the "reading ransom demands on public access TV circa 1989" hosting video quality. It'll get better next episode, I promise.
This channel finally gets to Epyx's Summer Games (having already looked at California Games and Winter Games twice now), but the real prize here is Desert Falcon: The first-ever game designed specifically for 7800. And... one that shipped about four years later than intended. It probably would have been a lot more notable in ’84, but, well, that's market implosions for you. It's still neat, if dated.

If you really want to look like public access TV, you should shoot the video with the camera directly beneath your nose. And ramble, because you have to fill your 30 minute slot somehow.

As it happens, this was all recorded and captured in the same session as the previous episode. I just spent the entire time fussing with tracking. Next week's episode will look MUCH better.

Good to see you cleaned your VCR heads this week
