A fine palette cleanser after last week's soggy beginning to the year, don't you think? Neither Zanac nor Lunar Pool are the most beautiful-looking games on NES, but they both play magnificently. And isn't that really what it's all about, in the end? I vote "yes."

Zanac & Lunar Pool retrospective: Greatest hits Compile-ation | NES Works #060

After a few too many humdrum releases rounding out September 1987, October sees the NES back in proper fighting form with a string of games for the ages. First up, we have the dual debut of legendary developer Compile (under the auspices of FCI) with a pair of lesser-known classics that showcase the unique sensibilities and impressive skills for which the studio would become known. 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.

Has there been a Nasir-programmed game on NES works yet? I can't recall. If not, next episode's going to be fun I suspect. As for these two... Lunar Pool I have a soft spot for because it was the only reasonably playable game on the 256-in-1 cart my cousins had. The second best thing on there was MUSCLE, let's just put it that way.

Honestly shocked we've never gotten a proper Aleste or Compile ep of Retronauts. This was really good, as usual. Having two great games that no one else I know played helps of course.
