A slightly unusual collection of four games this week with some double nesige.

Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole (1993, Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Points):

I tried out Landstalker quickly on Gametap, it behaves much like a Action/puzzle/rpg but unlike most games of this ilk, it plays from an isometric perspective, which can make many of the sections of the game that require good depth perception quite confusing.

Donkey Kong Jr. Math (1985, NES, 1-2 players, 500 Points):

I last played DKJrM inside of Animal Crossing for the cube, the two player is fair, but it all feels like a long minigame

Adventure Island (1988, NES, 1 player, 500 Points):

A quirky platformer, pretty run of the mill but it sounds like you aren’t able to walk to the left.. I’ve not had the pleasure of Adventure Island, so I can’t comment

Bonk 3: Bonk’s Big Adventure (1993, Turbografx-16, 1-2 player, 600 Points):

A class platformer, it feels like an old Amiga game to me, but it has the blessing of co-op multiplayer which is the rarest thing for a platform game to have.
