Yes, he is. And if you do too well at contra, you get flagged as a potential terrorist. For spending too much time playing a MURDER SIMULATOR!!!!111//111!!

Either that or you instantly get conscripted into Delta.

Sounds like too much hassle to play Gyruss and Contra.

I have Konami Arcade Classics DS (which I only keep because you can save replays in Gradius, something you sadly can´t do on the PSP version) and have to say that all the other games mentioned haven´t aged well. Scramble, for instance, might be interesting because it´s some crude proto-Gradius game, but otherwise it´s unbearable to play these days. I mean, there are other, much more interesting offerings like that Genesis/Megadrive controller with built in games like Sonic. Why bother?

Well thank ____ I only spent $3!

It was one of those impulse things that I thought might be kinda cool.
I plugged it into my Vista desktop & since it isnt compatible it wouldnt play sooooo I uninstalled it & will not install it on any of the laptops.

I really thought, cuz I didnt really look when I got it, that it was self contained & the games were maybe on flash memory in the controller. Oops...

The games are remixes, from what I see - not straight ports of any version of the game.

Scramble is an acquired taste...Super Cobra will be more interesting for many folks.

Arcade Classics DS didn't impress me, but that was partly because of the botched Contra port.

Any platformer will get stale after a while...one may think Sonic or a Shinobi game is the best game ever, but nobody plays them every day.
