One last side trip into 7800 territory for a while, with four more games that were in no way unique to the system. This series has been revelatory for me. I had no idea how slowly the 7800 was to really get going—for a system slated to launch in 1984, it's surprising to discover that it didn't really pick up steam until ’88.
We'll be looking at Sega's 8-bit lineup next, and I imagine that'll gear up far more quickly.
