Contra nes box art6/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Who's going to play a game starring a middle-aged man who looks like he stumbled out of the movie Tron and can't even point his gun properly? (Not nearly as confounding or confusing as Pokemon can get, mind you, but still a bit odd at the time.) Yes, the overall game was excellent (if rough around the edges…this was, after all, one of Keiji Inafune and co's first major projects, and bear in mind that the team that made it consisted of like, less than 10 people), but that box art is downright hideous. ![]() How the hell could this sell ANYONE on the game within? The game that was, essentially, a variation of the run-n-gun formula - think Contra except with a stage select (which was, believe it or not, a revolutionary feature at the time and is STILL rarely used in most games), a life bar, and a silly game-within-a-game of rock-paper-scissors. ![]()
