Content

Pardon the seasonal look here, which is two weeks out of sync for Patreon viewers this week but will be spot-on when this episode goes live.

I think this episode wins the prize for the least amount of footage ever devoted to an actual game under discussion (T&C Surf Designs), but you've literally seen everything there is to see from these roughly 45 seconds of footage. It's a terribly slight game. Emphasis on terrible.

R.C. Pro-Am and T&C Surf Designs retrospective: Gnarly to the Max | NES Works #075

Wishing you a Meli Kalikimaka this week, despite my rage over a bad game about wood and water. Thankfully, we have Rare to infuse a little holiday gratitude into the season with a very good, very fun, and very inventive take on racing: R.C. Pro-Am. It doesn't erase the nothing of a game that is T&C Surf Designs: Wood & Water Rage from existence, but it does at least provide balance in the Force or whatever. Also this week: The mysterious NES Max. Special thanks to Steve Lin of the Video Game History Foundation (https://gamehistory.org) for lending use of the game packaging, and to Numskull Designs (http://www.numskull.com) for the seasonal apparel. Video Works is funded via Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/gamespite) — support the show and get access to every episode up to two weeks in advance of its YouTube debut! And be sure to check out the Retronauts podcast (http://www.retronauts.com), where I (and many others!) tackle a much wider array of classic gaming topics each week.
