This is the best day EVER!!!

Re: New arcade games
 

Woohoo! New work distractions!

Re: New arcade games
 

Contra? Are you kidding? I grew up on that game. It was my life. I still remember the cheat code for 99 lives...

ahhhh the good ole days.

Re: New arcade games
 

You mean 30?!

Up, up, down, down, right, left, right, left, B, A!

Re: New arcade games
 

I thought it was:
up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a, select, start?

On the Warpath emulated version, the A and B are replaced with J and K. And you only add in "select" if it's two player.

Educate yourself...

"Arguably the best-known example of the Konami Code is in the 1988 NES version of Contra, where using the code increases the player's lives from 3 to 30. Due to the game's intense difficulty, many Contra players became reliant on the code to finish the game, earning it the title "The Contra Code"."

People can't beat Contra in less than three lives?! HA. Losers.

I downloaded the original Contra on Xbox Live a while back, and some of the achievements are ridiculous. [B]Finish the Game with One Life [/B]seems impossible, but the saddest one is [B]Complete the Game in Less than 12 Minutes[/B]. My friends and I used to pull all nighters on the NES version, and the bastard is completable in 12 minutes...

Re: New arcade games
 

WOW. THAT is impressive.

Re: New arcade games
 

Yeah, Mario 3 can be completed in about 7 mins, if my memory serves me right.

Chuck Norris can beat Contra in 6 minutes, without The Code.

Re: New arcade games
 

Woohoo! Finally got myself a wee trophy beside my name, I feel special now ;-)

Re: New arcade games
 

Could anyone help me out as to how you post a comment on the games?

Re: New arcade games
 

I too would like to know how to post a comment on the games and curveball is really really addicting and and im yet to score more than once on level 8 which i think is unbeatable

Re: New arcade games
 

I believe only VIP members can use the comment system in the arcade

Re: New arcade games
 

Matty, you are KILLING me with this maintenance on the Arcade, today. Can't you see I'm trying to waste time at work here! You are solely responsible for my increase in productivity at work today.

The Man is ecstatic with you. Is that what you want? You're a company man, aren't you Matty. I thought so.

Re: New arcade games
 

I was thinking the same thing Schneed for shame Matty for shame....

Re: New arcade games
 

What the hell! The arcade is down? You mean I have to work? This just isn't right.

hahahaha you know that guy wasn't even a real American Indian.

Re: New arcade games
 

sorry guys the server has been acting up lately and as a precaution I shut down the arcade to see if that helps. I'm just waiting to hear back from the server people.

Re: New arcade games
 

Schneed, after wasting a few hours at work the past few days I finally won back the QB Challenge title. It was worth it even if i get fired...

Re: New arcade games
 

Randomly I wanted to play tonight for the first time in years. Where is it?!?!? :(

Re: New arcade games
 

did i miss something? what happened to the games ?

Re: New arcade games
 

There were some technical issues with it, plus nobody had played any games in quite some time so I took it down.

I played Contra on JNES without "cheats." However what I did do was constantly save so whenever I lost a life I'd go back to the save point. It took me well over a 100 loads to beat the game. How someone could reasonably expect a person to pull that off is beyond me. And all for what? A crappy 8bit picture of a helicopter leaving an island forget it.
