1999 for the NES is one of those weird, obscure titles that makes you scratch your head at first. The graphics are super basic—like, early NES era basic—and the gameplay feels clunky until you get the hang of it. You control this little ship dodging obstacles and shooting down enemies, but the hit detection is kinda unforgiving. One wrong move and you're toast.

What's interesting is how the difficulty ramps up fast. The first level feels manageable, but by stage two, you're already sweating bullets. The music has that classic 8-bit charm, though—simple but catchy in a way that sticks in your head. If you're into retro challenges, this one might be worth a few tries, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.

It's definitely more of a curiosity than a must-play.
