NES Works #053: The Tengen trio
Added 2019-09-25 13:00:04 +0000 UTCSometimes, in the course of creating a chronological survey of old video games, one must inevitably Fudge It. This is one such case: I know at least one of these games shipped in 1987 in the U.S., but despite putting quite a bit of effort into pinning down the particulars, precisely when and how many remains a mystery. I've checked as many online resources as I could stomach, and even attempted to sort things out by poking around old games magazines of the time—not that many existed in the U.S. in 1987. So I decided to just drop these games here and say, "Close enough."

I had Pac-Man and Rolling Thunder as a kid. Never really thought much of them looking different at the time. I just was there to play games haha.
