The final three US licensed NES games arrived today. Oh and one special European one too.

Congrats.  Though Contra Force is terrible.  The pain of a complete collection.

Ehh, if Contra Force was called "Buff Machine Gun Guys Force" no one would complain. The problem is compared to Contra and Super C it's not that great of a game. It's at least average for an 8-bit game.

I remember clearing Contra Force on a rental... I thought it was a cool game. Totally agree with your take Dan.

Ultima V (Warriors of Destiny) is the true stinker here. I found it unplayable.

I just tested it and made sure it saves.

Of the games I got today Parodius is clearly the best.

I have always wanted to see how Parodius plays on the old Famicom.

This is the PAL UK NES release. I've noticed a few resolution oddities between trying it on my top loader and trying it on my handheld Retro Mini X NES famiclone. All things considered it's a damn impressive port for the NES though.

Nice Nec... Terraforming you will enjoy for sure ,and very nice looking stickers henry, we should trade some stickers up as i have a few now myself i do up for the F-ebay club :)


I was at a video game meet this weekend in cold canada.... picked up a few things but nothing to great except for a very nice manual :). Also my father-inlaw found a Lynx for me with a bunch of games at a fleamarket for $20, never had one of these but i need to find me an AC.

And the European version actually puts clothes on the leggy lady among other things. So it's even less ecchi than the Japanese version.

A very nice manual indeed!  Its just dying to be hooked up with a sparky label and a lonely disc only DH :P

In other news, a huge box showed up today with 22lbs of turbo stuff.  This christmas could be chock full of freebies now!

Edit: And Air Zonk needs a Sparky label.
