### 5/5 — Nostalgic

*2025-09-27, version 1.1*

I had this game at one point but when I deleted it I couldn’t find it anywhere but I searched up Megaman collection which is another lost game I can’t find but I found this again. Let me get into the game now, well it’s very retro style and the gameplay is good and really deserves to be seen more. This game is great, go check it out.

*2024-02-16, version 1.1*

VENTURE KID is an excellent NES-era game. I replay it every year or so. Great controls, fun levels, neat bosses. I'm in my mid 40s. The last gaming systems I owned were the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation (original).
