Contra 4 Art Gallery


It's midnight and I've been playing Contra 4 all weekend, and thought I would commemorate the time spent playing this awesome game with this art and photo gallery. I've been playing Contra 4 for about 5 years now. It never gets old. Awesome artwork as well.

Contra 4 Prototype Footage


I found what looks to be Prototype footage of Contra 4 from 2007 E3. You can watch it in the embedded video link below. Contra 4 came out before the retro craze had really caught on. Back then 8-Bit City even operated under the assumption that there was not much 8-Bit new going on at any given time. 

Mega Man 9 and Contra 4 were both big reboots that jumpstarted the recent retro revival on the last 5 years. Cave Story came out around the same time as well--the past was back. Geometry Wars perhaps deserves some credit too, because it was on every XBOX 360 in every store display you could image from 2005-2007. Games like Super Meat Boy, Braid, and Mega Man 9 would dominate the downloadable new frontier which had just been created.

While these downloadable titles may have been seen as second-rate (inferior) to the big-budget titles sold in a disc in the store, the lines continue to blur. Players are not as impressed with graphics as they once were, and a downloadable project is a better place to test out new ideas than a 50-million dollar blockbuster.

Cheetah Men Comic



I found this on the internet. The Cheetah Men comic, and it looks pretty bad. I didn't even read I just looked at some of the pictures. Instead of paying $39,000 and not reading the comic, don't read it right now!

The Cheetah Man games are pretty fun, and terrible, but certainly not as bad as people say or no one would play them at all. Cheetah Men 1-2 strike a good balance between horrible and addicting.

Smooth McGroove



Smooth McGroove's videos already have millions of hits so I guess I've been living under a Duck Tales Moon Rock.



Also, Mega Man 2 Wily's Theme is always classic.



Or, perhaps Guile's Theme to go with anything?

Turbo Grafx 16 Box Art Galley


The Turbo Grafx 16 had an awesome collection of box art. This is a small retrospective of some of the classic covers. It's not a complete collection, by any means. Check out the art for Keith Courage in Alpha Zones, Air Zonk, Blazing Lazers, Bonk, and more.


Air Zonk: Mega Man, the Gradius Game.


Blazing Lazers is completely epic.


Bonk has a nice creepy thing going on that seems '90s and extreme.


Oddly detailed dinosaur fights cartoon baby.


I don't even think I've played Dead Moon, but that box could have sold me back in the day.


This is exactly what Dragon's Curse is like.


Gunhead is impressive, but not as imaginative as the whimsical Blazing Lazers cover.


The Japanese Keith Courage art fails in comparison to the classic North American.


A SMB Star escaped in Magical Chase. Overall the art is pretty solid, however. Bender is hiding in the background.


Tina's looking nice.

Literally R-Type.


Space Harrier is so damn insane. The box looks exactly like the game. Truth in advertising for sure.

Adventure Island III


I just snagged a copy of Adventure Island III and I'll be spending all day playing that. Although I've played the original many times, and I grew up with Adventure Island II, and beat the Gameboy Version (which is name Adventure Island II), I've never really tackled the 3rd installment. 

It was rented a few times as a kid because Adventure Island II was one of my favorite games, but today I get to correct the mistakes of my gaming past.
