I put on my jersey and wizard hat: All-Pro Basketball & Archon | NES Works 168

A weird pairing this week, I realize, but consider: (1) they both came out around the same time in the U.S., and (2) they both show up very close together in an alphabetical list of NES games as well. What further connections could you need for a game that transforms the mechanics and court perspective of Hoops into a full four-quarter pro-league simulation, and a game that turns chess into a fast-paced magical shootout through fields of fire? It's all about transmutation this episode. (A wizard did it, probably.) Please support this documentation project through Patreon (www.patreon.com/gamespite) or by picking up some of the related books (www.limitedrungames.com/collections/books). AND you can preorder Metroidvania: The First Decade from a fine book chain or comic shop, such as B&N (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-history-of-metroidvania-jeremy-parish/1148489848 ). Thanks!
