NES Works #057: Stadium Events & Winter Games
Added 2019-11-27 15:00:03 +0000 UTCHey! We're all caught up again to the usual two-week lead time on these videos. Thanks for bearing with me while I got things back on track.
This week we see, by far, the most valuable game I will ever include on Video Works. I was very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work with one of the most highly coveted NES games of all time. I was also very fortunate not to keel over dead from a heart attack while recording this footage. Or to die of disgust from playing Winter Games.
This episode is a bit of a roller coaster, is what I'm saying.

One of the four pillars of early-ish NES sports games, along with RBI Baseball, Tecmo Bowl, and whichever side of the Ice Hockey vs Blades of Steel eternal war you come down on. But, yeah, Winter Games is a crime. It was even enjoyable on the Apple IIs we had in our Grade 6 classroom. I feel like they also picked the worst events to include; I have memories of Ski Jump being really good.
