Double Dribble is a good Christmas gift! Ring King less so. Especially for me. I'm gonna have to clean up so many YouTube comments about that stupid interstitial animation....

This is the final video update for 2019, so thank you for your support this year! I'm going to rework the tiers and goals for this Patreon slightly in the new year, streamlining things a bit. And I'm also considering a monthly Patreon-exclusive video... that failed systems poll wasn't just for my health, ya know

Description: NES Works continues (properly back in the year 1987 once again) with another pair of sports games. One is quite good, and the other... is not only kinda bad, but it also means lots of people are going to leave tired jokes about blowjobs here, because there's no 20-year-old Seanbaby joke that isn't made even better by being left as a drive-by YouTube comment. I will say this for Ring King, though: At least it has an exhibition mode, which means I didn't actually have to play it while recording footage. Quite considerate of Data East, really.

Video Works is funded through 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.
