Episode 5 - Deserved/Undeserved: NES Sequels
You might get angry, you might jump for joy, you might press the stop out of boredom... But this is Deserved/Undeserved, where we discuss whether titles that didn't have sequels, deserved one. Or for games that got sequels, whether they deserved it, either because the game sucked or its original game was terrible to begin with.
