Konami Collector's Series: Castlevania and Contra

Picked this up at work today for $20. Didn't even know it had come in till I was fixing some games in the children's/edutainment section and someone put it on the shelf.

Haven't installed it yet but on the back of the box the games look like they're the NES versions.

Here's a link to ebworld if you wanna scope out the box...

PC owners get all the luck sometimes

Damn, I thought you meant the arcade versions of Contra and Super Contra along with Vampire Killer for one of the next gen systems. <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" /> Guess it's better than nothing though.

I installed the game last night and gave a few of them a whirl. They all appear to be 100% accurate to the original NES versions (except for the awkward control from using a keyboard instead of a gamepad).

I even did the 30 man trick for Contra and it worked .

I'd recommend getting this CD if you no longer have a working NES, no longer have these carts, or don't believe in playin DA ROMZZZZZ.

Man.......I thought it's PS or xbox version and it ends up on PC format.

I think Konami will release this title soon on PS or PS2 for sure.

Wow thats kinda cool... rather play something like that on my GBA though since I have most of those on the NES arleady.

Games I'd like Konami to release on PS2/GCN:

Aliens
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Turtles in Time
The Simpsons
GTI Club: Cote Du Sur

and from Namco:

Rolling Thunder series
Splatter House series


I'd especially like to those Konami games

Companies need to start waking up and start releasing compliations like these for the next gen systems to play them on actual control pads.

I would love say a Mortal Kombat Kollection or something of the sort for example for my X-Box.

The EMU scene is completly owning in that regard.
