Clu Clu Land is one of the original 18 titles released with the North American NES way back in 1985, but it was available even earlier in Japan for the Famicom. It's a reflexive puzzle game where you control a bubble fish who must uncover the golden ingots in each stage by moving over them. Once you uncover every ingot you advance to the next stage. During each stage monsters and pitfalls will make maneuvers difficult for you. Like most single-screen arcade games released for the NES, the game lacked any real depth. Also, while the concept is easy to understand, the controls take quite a bit of time to get used to.
