When I was about 8-10 my friend and I were hooked on Contra. I went to his house almost every day after school and we played Contra. We got to where we could beat it without dying. We even made up several 2 player competive games within Contra. What fun.

I can remember when Mario 2 and 3 came out, my (spoiled) friend's mom bought the game that day. On both occasions we stayed awake as long as it took to beat the games. What fun.

To this day is still have fun. It was only 3 yars ago that I finnally beat Castlevania. My friend and I vowed that summer that we would beat it. We even taped ourselves playing to figure out the bosses patterns.

But alas nothing beats getting a bunch of poeple together and playing a season of Tecmo Super Bowl. When a reciever does the "super jump" on a big play, nothing is more exciting.
