Hey! It's an NES game. Two, actually. See, I haven't forgotten about the NES! It still has a place in my heart. We'll be wrapping up NES 1987 in due time, if only because I really want to cover The Goonies II and Mega Man.

Anyway, back to Game Boy Color games.

Spelunker & Sqoon retrospective: Mortality bytes | NES Works #051

Japanese arcade giant Irem makes its NES debut—or at least its debut as a publisher under its own steam. Spelunker and Sqoon make for interesting companion pieces to Lode Runner and Bungeling Bay, one being an Irem PC port published by Brøderbund and the other being a game published by Irem itself. Anyway, both are hilariously difficult.
