Chrontendo 51 is a real thing that has happened
I suspect anyone reading this blog probably already follows Chrontendo, but just in case: Occasional Retronauts guest Dr. Sparkle has uploaded the long-awaited new episode of the great-grandaddy of all chronological platform surveys. Even though the series' pace has slowed to a few episodes per year, it remains far and away the most extensive and comprehensive of these little video projects (now having covered more than 750 games in total; Game Boy World should get there in the year 2035, approximately). I feel Retronauts should help promote spiritually aligned ventures, don't you? So, you can give it a watch here, or click through to Dr. Sparkle's YouTube channel and spend three days binge-watching the entire series:
Some pretty excellent stuff in this episode, along with some absolute trash. That's probably inevitable at this point in the NES's life: The Japanese side of things was hitting its sunset maturity, which meant veteran developers were squeezing the most out of the hardware while less respectable companies were churning out low-grade garbage in order to make the most of a saturated market before everyone abandoned ship for 16-bit systems. And on the Western side of things... well, they were trying, bless their hearts.
