NES Works #036: Trojan
🕑 Added 2018-09-09 12:18:11 +0000 UTC I decided to take a brief foray into the 8-bit world this week to explore a game I enjoyed as a kid and that, happily, holds up better than I had feared (even if I had to cheat to get to the end). Trojan is another one of those transitional games by Capcom that would be eclipsed by their later works, but don't let the neon-grid-box fool you. This is a solidly designed action game, converted intelligently from the arcade. If it were just a little less unfair, it would really be somethin'!I still have a few side-project videos to tackle over the coming weeks, including a requested video on a PlayStation (!) game and a brand-new Super NES release in the spirit of an NES favorite.
You might, perhaps, suspect I'm procrastinating so I don't have to deal with the month-long block of Super NES sports games standing between here and Super Castlevania IV... and you would be absolutely correct.

Holy crap, Darkstalkers! I had honestly forgotten that game even existed. Exhilarama got an awful lot of my quarters in that machine when I was young. Man, now I want to track that cabinet down.

From what I can see, one of these games is Super Off-Road, so it's not all bad.
