Great memories! Super Mario Bros. and Contra were great games. I have read that younger generations of players have a very tough time beating these kinds of games. Specially Contra. In today's games got checkpoints and there is really not a big penalty for dying on most games. In older games, if you died or lost all your lives you had to start over in most cases.
Thank you for sharing!
Yes that is right, back then we have to be cautious so we won't die in the game especially when fighting with the boss. Thanks for reading through
