I've been streaming Dr. Chaos for the NES recently. This is one of the first games I remember playing and has never been far from my thoughts (despite forgetting if it was even a real game for 30 years). Pumped to be playing it for real, now that I'm not 7 years old and know how to play games.

If you're looking for a powerfully average NES game with some interesting ideas that @jeffgerstmann.com once called "no Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu," you could do worse than Dr. Chaos.

And if you're looking for a video where someone quietly and methodically maps out a bunch of rooms and learns how to play a somewhat-obtuse NES game, you could do worse than my streams of Dr. Chaos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujom...

Secretly, all of this is running up to me relaunching my games-focused blog using @offprint.app over at norm.likes.games. I've already migrated over my existing content, but I know I'll have plenty to say about Dr. Chaos once I've finished it, so that seems like a fitting re-launch post.

I'm jealous of your blogs domain 😭

Yeah I was surprised `likes.games` was available for registration a few days ago. I guess domain speculators must be having a hard time keeping up with the explosion of gTLDs or something. I almost feel like it's my civic duty to run a PDS or something to offer these up as handles to the people.
