Contra!

Played through Contra on the Famicom the other day.  This was my first time ever beating it I feel this version is definitely superior to the NES version since it has a bit of a story, animated backgrounds like the leaves that move on the trees in the jungle, and some cut scenes.  If you … Continue reading »

Confusing Symbol

A few weeks ago I was playing Akumaju Dracula Kun (aka. Kid Dracula) on the Famicom and Gameboy.

The … Continue reading »
