Project D
· Written by Kerry · Monday, 06 April 2009 22:53 ·
logo_copy"...back when we were kids, games were much harder..."  The general consensus among mature gamers is that we had it tough, and young gamers today have it easy.  "...kids today couldn't handle the brutality of older games..."  In an upcoming 5 part miniseries, I'm bringing an 11-year old back in time with me to experience some of the most gut-wrenching video games ever conceived by man.  Will he prove us wrong and come out a champion, or will he succumb to the Game Over screen?  This is Project D.

I was probably 11 when I first played Contra on NES.

That kid makes me angry.

Input the code for him and see how far he gets with 30 lives.
