THREAD REVIVAL ILLUMINATION!

Well guys, something wondertastical happened today. You will never believe it.

I... BEAT CONTRA (NES)!

Twice! Turns out there's a second loop if you let the credits run thru. I figured I'd keep going until I ran out of lives and continues, and I had lost all my continues on the Hangar level of the first loop, so I figured I'd never finish it...

I wound up getting to the Waterfall level on the Third loop before finally being able to quit. It was almost like the game held me prisoner for awhile.

And the best part is I recorded the whole thing onto a DVD. It will always bring back the fondest of memories.
