The Games of the Contra Collection


Posted on 06/17/2020 at 09:18 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I knew about Final Fantasy Adventure, but I didn't play it until after I had beaten Secret of Mana.  Even back then I knew those two games were related.

A guy on a high school band trip showed me Link's Awakening and that was when I realized there may be something to this handheld gaming thing.

Super C does sound like the name of a grocery store!

Definitely try all versions, achievements or not.  Those games are so hard I'm not even worried about getting many achievements or trophies or whatever.  Achievements and trophies are neat, but only when they're fun to get.

8-bit Bodyslams - Pro Wrestling


Posted on 06/17/2020 at 09:13 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I remember going to a friend's house and playing this over there.  Didn't really get into it, though.  I just can't get into wrestling.  Games or otherwise.  Only other wrestling game I remember playing at a friend's house was Rumble Roses.  That was, uh, something.  I have friends who watch it on TV but it just never grabbed me.

Library Additions, 1993


Posted on 06/17/2020 at 09:10 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I was smack dab in the middle of high school in 1993.  I didn't know about Wallace and Gromit until I was in college.  One evening when I was by myself in the dorm, I was flipping TV channels and came across this weird show on PBS with a silent clay animated penguin (The Wrong Trousers).  I told my roommate and other friends later about what I saw, but didn't think anything of it other than that.  But a few weeks later, they had a stop motion animated film festival on campus.  One thing I miss about college is activities like that.  They don't do stuff like that in the suburbs!  Anyway, that film festival showed both The Wrong Trouses and A Close Shave, which was fairly new at the time.  And after that I was an Aardman fan.  I watch pretty much anything they do, including commercials like the talking Chevron cars and Serta mattress sheep.

Blaster Master Review

I never got into this game much as a kid for some reason.  It was just too hard for Little Cary.  I do love the fact that the ridiculous story was perfectly acceptable back then, but probably not now.  I'd like to play the Blaster Master Zero games that Inti Creates put on Switch, but like I said, I never got into the franchise much and you can't play all the games out there!

I think most games started off in the arcade back then.  But I have better memories with arcade games over a lot of NES games because I went to a lot of arcades back then.

I didn't pick the Wolfman in Contra Hard Corps, but I'd totally pick the panda in the new Contra game that just came out.

Marvin's Rare Nightwar Adventure


Posted on 06/15/2020 at 09:25 AM | Filed Under Blogs

Like I said before, if I had an Xbox One, Rare Replay would be one of the games I'd get right away.

I remember my friend and I renting Snake, Rattle, and Roll and Solar Jetman.  I liked Snake, Rattle, and Roll because it reminded me of Marble Madness, but it was very hard.  My friend and I cracked the password system in Solar Jetman and we thought we were really cool for doing so.  

Battletoads is known as one of the hardest NES games.  My local Pizza Inn had the Battletoads arcade game for a while.  I enjoyed that one more.  That's the cool thing about that Pizza Inn is that they always had some obscure arcade games in the back!

Name some gaming podcasts

I don't listen to any podcasts!  Just don't have time.  I wish I could make my own, but I lack the time and knowhow.

Wolfenstein was really big when I was a teen.  Especially since it was created in the town where I live.

I remember that They Might Be Giants album.
