I apologize for trolling with this video and my pronunciation of one of the game's titles. It's not really in the spirit of the season.

I'll make up for it next week, though. Promise.

Elevator Action & Legend of Kage retrospective: Ups and downs | NES Works #046

Japanese publisher Taito makes its NES debut with a pair of games that, in stark contrast to the games that immediately precede them, quite faithfully recreate their arcade predecessors rather than reinvent them. That's not a bad thing, necessarily, but given the ambitious design of the games released on either side of this duo, it does cause Taito to feel a bit behind the curve. (They'll sort it out eventually.)
