Are these games made by humans?

I return to another set of 10 NES games that try to be games but are more pieces of... things making you think why does this exist?
The first game I played was Kiwi Kraze - A Bird-Brained Adventure! I think the people who made this game had bird brains. You are a bird, going after... shellfish and uh... babies? Shooting them and traversing your way through a zoo? Some... place? I don't know where we are really. There's also these bears and when you defeat them, you can access their floating vehicles. Your objective of each stage is to free the captured bird. It's... well it's a game alright. A game I don't understand what the hell is happening. The 2nd game was Wayne's World. Or... Wayne can't get out of the damn music store because I sure couldn't. Either all the instruments are freakishly big or you are freakishly small. But for the life of me I could not get past the 2nd part of the music store. And even when I thought I did, there was a line of record disks to attack and kill me. Just like the game says... "NO WAY!"
Next up was Thunderbirds. Another vertical arcade shooter game. This one was... difficult. 3 hit and it's game over and sometimes it feels like there are attacks you can't get your ass past. I never made it past the first stage. Next up was The Adventures of Rad Gravity. Was it that rad? Uh... no not really. You are in some sort of underground city. Poking scientist and gray haired dudes. Really I think the best part of this game was the creepy ass password screen music. Imagine lying down in bed, your TV suddenly turns on and all it says is "QG9X1 RW8$2 T2423 J5B$F" and it plays that series of random ass notes. You would absolutely shit your pants. The next game was F-15 Strike Eagle. It was kind of like Thunderbirds but a more POV version. And boy was it shit. The turning was not smooth and I couldn't tell if I was hitting shit or not. And the moment I ran out of ammo, I held my breath and hoped for the best.
Next game was Destiny of an Emperor. Sounds fun. Oh wait. It's a shitty ass NES RPG game. I just skipped through the whole story since I gave no shits. Oh and the game has LOOOONNNNNNGGGGG AAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS battle scenes. I mean seriously I couldn't even finish the battle in 4 and a half minutes! When battles are that long, you know your game is bad. Capcom's Gold Medal Challenge was up next! Finally! A game that sounds fun! And... well... it was a generic Olympics styled game. And of course I had no damn clue what to do. But at the same time I didn't do any training modes so... blame me for that one. Rocket Ranger was next! Could this be more fun than the Gold Medal Challenge? Answer... no... you select random places and control this flying dude and shoot shit and I didn't know if I was shooting shit and I didn't understand the premise of the game sure there were words on screen but I just skipped over all of it because I have no time to read the game itself was confusing and boring as shit I didn't know where I was going or why or what my objective was but then again had I actually read the shit then maybe I would've understood it better or not I don't know I didn't like Rocket Ranger and I will never play this game again... holy shit that was all one sentence. English teachers gonna kill me for that one.
Was Nobunaga's Ambition any more fun? Nope. It was even more boring and confusing to all hell. You start by rolling the dice on your Health, Drive, Luck, Character, and IQ. After that, you place down... uh... things... and attack... other things... basically... another boring ass battle strategy game. Amagon was the final game of the night and wow... what a fucking fever dream it was. You're a pink dude shooting crabs falling from trees, birds, mushrooms. You can also miserably fail to make the easiest of jumps. It felt like a young kid came up with the whole idea for the game and the developers were like... yeah sure! Or for all I know, that game didn't exist and all those games before somehow drugged me and that's the game I saw.
I guess NES games are dangerous drugs after all.
