    I know this is supposed to be a classic, but I think that's more sentimentality related to its being an NES launch title, and having been programmed by the man who would go on to become Nintendo's CEO, Satoru Iwata.

Anyway, it's not a great game regardless; repetitive, straightforward flap-and-jab action that reminds me of its much-better influence, Joust.… Full Review »
