YouTube video by Jeremy Parish | Video Works NES Works Special 3: The Best of 1988

I don't have a 40th anniversary episode of NES Works for you this week, BUT I do have a couple of NES recaps now that we've witnessed the U.S. birth of the 16-bit consoles and can get back to the NES chronology again. Here's a look at the best games of ’88, as determined by… me: youtu.be/Z4UoH9Wo3O0

This is the most obvious emergency I have ever seen

Oh … oh no

Rats

Well here we go! Need a miracle.

Not giving up yet! But they need to do something and fast

They are pressing, I was afraid of this

This feels like the Cubs just aren’t gonna score anymore. I need to be wrong.

Worried about the Cubs hitters pressing now that they are behind early.

Staying up until the end of Tigers/Mariners was a choice, a good choice

I had planned on posting a new NES review today and I just … forgot. Perhaps next week!

Cubs in 5!

Never a doubt! Cubs in 5! Bring on Saturday!

Long way to go but vibes are good, let’s get this!!

Keep the faith, never lose hope, enjoy the ride. Cubs in 5!

Well. Bring the series back to Chicago and see what happens!

Honestly pretty impressive how the Cubs just have no life to them whatsoever right now

Very many four letters words have been spoken

you have gotta be shitting me

Earl Weaver special!! 3-0 Cubs let’s gooooooo

The current plan is to finish a game, then write about that game, then write up and publish a backlog review, and repeat. As long as I am excited about getting to the next game, this should help with motivation

I do feel like I’m wanting to get back into writing about the NES again. I already have a partial review of The Jungle Book going that I’ll finish soon. The main issue right now is that I’m about 15 reviews behind, some games I haven’t touched in years already

The Jungle Book cleared! (NES No. 202)
At long last, a new clear! A 1994 NES platformer that was more annoying than fun. You have to find all gems in each large stage to clear them, and there are a lot of stages with no passwords or saving.

It’s certainly a separate category of run, however you qualify it.

Mowing the grass this afternoon with the game on radio and I’m not having a great time 😂

I’ve been itching to play it again

Ha6es potentially in play

Crisis averted! Go Cubs Go! On to the NLDS!

I’m not panicking I swear

Fasten those seatbelts
