Playing games on one of those mini-NES's, and I had forgotten how damn hard the original Contra was. And by hard, I mean impossible. Can't even beat the first level.

I can't send you video because I can't find my joystick.

that game is probably the most unfair fun game ever maaaaade.

No real replay value, and Gamestop won't give you anything for it in trade.

So just like every other game then.

Old school games were hard because there was none of this "save" shit. Either you beat the game with the given number of lives or you start back at the beginning.

I was able to beat Contra without dying (and without 30 lives) I played it so damn much.

ghost and goblins was awfully difficult.

TMNT is the legendarily difficult one. It’s tempting to go back and play some of the games with emulators because you can save and reload at any point, but since I’m old now I don’t have time for games that are challenges.

That game fucking sucked.

Anyone else have one of those little NES's? There are some great old games on there.

I want to get one of those, the SNES, and the SEGA.

Just make sure to get the controller extension too. The one they give you is way too short, and I've heard the wireless ones lag.
