October 1988 NES Update

This month brought us 2 highly anticipated titles:  Ghostbusters and Super Mario Bros. 2.  Ghostbusters was rather lackluster, but I still played the heck out of it and failed miserably.  Mario 2 was the clear hit of this particular month, and was marketed brilliantly I might add.  We started into sequel mode by this point, with 1942's sequel being released, 1943 -The Battle at Midway.  However, it was much of the same of 1942. Yes, it added some difficulty and some bosses, but the mechanics were exactly the same.  Mario was still side-scrolling but certainly added a lot of elements to enhance the gaming experience.
