Crappies and craps: The Black Bass USA & Casino Kid | NES Works 162

Watch on Youtube

Youtube Video Description:

This week brings us two NES games that really banked on the fact that more than just children had access to the NES. It's not that some kids wouldn't want to play a game about fishing or poker, just that those slow-paced, non-violent (unless you're a fish) pastimes tend to be more appealing to adults. This one's for the grown-ups who had to give up the family TV sometimes so their rugrats could fail pitifully to beat Ghosts ’N Goblins: a pair of games that suit slow reflexes and world-weary souls. 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!
