P.O.W.: Prisoners of War

  
 P.O.W.: Prisoners of War
NES
2D Beat 'Em Up
1988.09.xx

A clunky arcade port, POW is actually a lot of fun once you get used to the sluggishness. This is a typical 80s brawler, there isn't much difficulty, and what little there is stems from not knowing what's ahead. Once you get familiar with the levels, POW's difficulty becomes non-existent. The sound is adequate for a mid-life NES game, and the music, while mediocre is catchy and likable. POW plays better with the NES Advantage, otherwise the controller REALLY digs into the hands. This game is worth a try, it's not an excellent NES game, but it's fun.
