Let's get back to it and look at a batch of NES games that vary wildly  in quality, including Super Dodge Ball, Super Spy Hunter, Ice Climber,  Rockin' Kats, and Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu. Wow. That last one is... something else.

If you'd like to see a scan of the manual to Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu, it's right here: http://www.digitpress.com/library/manuals/nes/Master%20Chu%20&%20the%20Drunkard%20Hu.pdf 

Have a good weekend, everybody. Planning on checking out some Super Mario Wonder this weekend, we'll chat about it on the podcast next week!

Might we be able to have a new community post with the updated energy drink list? Tough going to the store not knowing how some of these rank beforehand :)

*Because you'd like to see a scan of the manual to Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu, Anyway, this series continues to be outstanding. Ashens has been doing something similar on Twitch (at least he was last I saw) where he goes through a whole series of Amiga game compilation disks someone put out in the 90s and rates them in a huge list. One of his subscribers does a haiku for each one, so I'm thinking you should write a hot 16 about each of these NES games and then record the longest rap of all time.

Great series. Thanks Jeff. Ice Climber forever.
