also, which one was the biggest let-down?




I might actually have a reverse story...for whatever reason I wasn't exposed to Contra until the NES. When I saw a Contra cab one day in my local mall arcade I was excited because it had much better graphics. I remember trying one credit and getting slaughtered almost immediately. The controls SUCKED. So the NES version of Contra to me is the tried and true version of Contra.

I'd say one of the first games that really "blew me away" was the Mega Man series. the creativity of the enemies, the music, and the action was just incredible for me at the time. Once Mega Man hit the SNES though it started to seem stale and the bosses and their poweres were getting pretty far fetched and I lost interest.
