I wasn't aware of this game's existence. Thank you for making this video.
-
I found it incredibly hard, and very beautiful. It was on a 78,000 games in one system.
-
We need more nature games with mushroom combat. Flying in games is normally fun.
-
It reminds me of the type of games you would see on the a2600. A simple arcade mechanic reproduced on multiple levels. But with 8-Bits graphics.
-
I remember playing this game as a kid! I thought I was just bad at it, so good to know it wasn’t just me. If you like this early famicom era of games, you might like Battle City, Binary Land, or Wrecking Crew.

Oh wow. Bird Week takes me back. I was first exposed to it on a bootleg console called the PowerJoy. It was certainly unlike any other game I played at the time. Also, that translated version of the story was nonsensically hilarious. XD
-
This game reminds me of "Percy The Potty Pigeon" C64. I played it growing up. Basically a day in the life of a bird.. Fun times :]
