Has anyone been playing Devil World (NES) on Switch now that it became available? I hadn’t played this before but now that I tried it I think it’s one of the best of those old NES titles. Very interesting game mechanics, kind of like Clu Clu Land in the sense that it’s sort of Pacman clone with an interesting concept. In this game you move in a maze and Satan tries to kill you by crushing you between walls. He does that by making his minions move the maze in all four cardinal directions.

The game can be hard sometimes but so far I have reached to round 8. However, as I have been playing it quite a bit, I’ve noticed it has started to mess with my brain. Let’s say I’m scrolling through some social media app. Then out of nowhere as the text on the screen is scrolling my brain starts to add those Devil World movements to the scrolling text I’m looking at. So for a moment that short vision makes me think “Oh shit! Quick! I gotta move out of the way!”. Kinda spooky. Could it be a cursed game? :)

    Sounds like the Tetris effect, it just means the game’s good.
