NES Works #049: Athena & Arkanoid
🕑 Added 2019-04-24 14:00:00 +0000 UTCI like when I do one of these combo episodes and the games lend themselves to a tidy narrative. Both Athena and Arkanoid are know for being punishingly hard, and both came in jumbo special packaging (at least in Japan). But one of these games is very, very good and one of them is very, very bad... or at least badly programmed. Can you guess which is which??
Stick around for a very special B-O-N-U-S!

I played Arkanoid... On a Thomson computer, with a port from Titus. Yes, that Titus. I remember really liking the port, but no vaus controller or mouse support either unfortunately...

Super excited for next episode. I've always found the NES version a touch awkward compared to the Apple original, but it's still one of the greats.
