Sunsoft blew our minds with Blaster Master, but the company did not suddenly become some 8-bit powerhouse after releasing that game. Here's the rocky portion of their road to greatness, a pair of NES conversions that will leave you scratching your head. In the case of Platoon, you'll be left wondering why they thought THIS license was suitable to a platform primarily advertised and sold to children. In the case of Xenophobe, you'll be confused about how meager a port such a technically adept company managed to produce. Production note: NES footage captured from  @analogueinc  Mini. Arcade footage captured from MiSTer FPGA cores; special thanks to  @MiSTerAddons . Video upscaled to 720 with XRGB Mini Framemeister.
