If you ever owned the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), chances are, you played Contra. Now you can play the classic game like never before.
A recent study showed what video games Wyomingites had Google-searched the most over the last decade, but home systems have been around since the late 1970s. With that in mind and the recent rise of retro gaming consoles being sold throughout the world, it got us thinking: what is Wyoming's all time favorite system?
After reading a rumor that one of my all time favorite console video games was getting a live-action treatment, my heart skipped a beat. Contra, the 1987 classic Nintendo, two-man, run-and-gun, side scrolling shoot em up is getting a movie and a television show.
That's right. They still release new games for the old 8-bit Nintendo (NES) and, after years of work, the people at KHAN games released what's arguably the most controversial game of all time - Leisure Suit Larry!
I have a passion for old video games and for stupid tricks. One such trick involves me beating the first level of Super Mario 3 without looking at the screen. I can do it blindfolded, too -- it doesn't matter, so long as I can hear the music. Here's how I did it. You can try it for yourself to see if you can do it, too!
Even if you're a hardcore Nintendo fan, you might be scratching your head, saying you've never heard of this title. That's because I made this. My son and daughter don't always get along so I thought I'd make a Nintendo game where they have to use teamwork to get past each level.
Although everyone knows who Mario is, I didn't think my daughter would want to play as a mustached-wearing plumber so I hacked the game to make it star my daughter instead.
