Jeremy Parish checks out Hoops & Shooting Range in NES Works 126

Here we have a pair of games that don’t do much more than simply exist. Neither is bad, and Hoops in particular has its charms, but they don’t move the needle at all outside of giving kids in 1989 something additional (if not something new) to do with their free time.

Neither game feels entirely complete as a product, especially Shooting Range, a game that appears to have been hastily edited into a kinder, gentler gun-based experienced at the last second. But neither of these games will give you rabies or anything. They are video game product at its most competent.
