Happy New Year, and happy NES year (specifically, 1987) (Patreon)

Chúc mừng năm mới, as we say 'round these here parts. Well, not really "we." My relationship with the Vietnamese language is less a matter of pronunciation than of tone-deaf mutilation. But everyone else is kind about it, at least. Here's hoping the year ahead is equally kind to all of you.

As the new (lunar) year begins, I'm closing in on wrapping up NES Works 1987. At this point, I mostly just need to place all the background screen images I've captured and get it copy edited! And then it's off to the printers, hopefully by the end of the month. In any case, it should be a fine celebration for this lineup of games' collective 35th anniversary. That's a thing, right?

I've attached the cover to this post. As you can see, there's a lot of stuff in this volume! And the cover box art thumbnails don't even include all the NES Works Gaiden material that'll be included in the collector's edition of the book....
