I spent my share of time in arcades as a teenager. I played it a few times and that was it. It wasn't the type of game I liked. There was usually dudes playing it though. It was a pretty popular game.
it was a decent game, not my favorite shooter though. my favorite arcade shooter was a 1930's gangster game that was supposed to be in al capone's chicago, i can't remember what it was called. Polybius was pretty advanced for its time
quick story about contra ... my brother and i are playing, i shoot the box to get the goody that floats up, and my bro takes it, he perpetually did this and it created fights before so i stole off on him and he stole off on me and my old man walks in and just casually threw the nintendo out of the window-didn't say a word. i'm 37 and still remember that day like yesterday. life felt like it was over at the point
