May 1987 Update

A few popular games actually arose here, but one legendary game caused the others to descend back to obscurity.  CastleVania got it's start here, certainly beating out Burger Time & Ikari Warriors.  Side scrollers typically did well on the NES and SNES, and 3-d worlds really weren't plausible, at least in good quality at the time.  Many games tried to utilize upwards scrolling, but it usually caused too much frustration, or caused the game to look like Space Invaders, and it did so with Ikari Warriors here.  Burger Time had a Donkey Kong feel to it, but CastleVania was it's own brand and became a popular staple of NES for the foreseeable future.
