Clu Clu Land is a game I wanted to like, and while not bad it just doesn't hit that gaming sweet spot for me.  WIth that said, it is a beloved addition to my collection as part of the Nintendo Black Box series that breached the console gaming chasm between the Atari 2600 and the NES, so from a contextual perspective it gets a pass. ]]>

I think I just needed a break from the game, it felt a lot smoother when coming back to it after a few days. I'd put it with Popeye for games that I enjoy, but couldn't play for long periods. ]]>

Not much time for playing this week with the last Holidays preparations, but I achieved a decent run nonetheless. ]]>

I played this game for the first time last summer, and it's now one of my favorite black box games.  Who would have thought non-intuitive controls could be so fun?

I think it'll just be a participation point this week. I didn't have a lot of time this week to get used to the controls but still, it's better than nothing. I still may be able to post a better score before I go back to work but I doubt I'll have the time.
