I lived in San Diego when I first played this game. The corner store by my dads apartment had this and I spent every quarter and dollar I could get my hands on playing it. Circa 1985. Nostalgia at it's finest. Thanks for upload.

40+ years ago, this was the state of the art in video games. Younger people today just have *NO* idea how different it was. They're spoiled not only by the 3D elements, gorgeously orchestrated scores, and voice work that can be in games, but the sheer AMOUNT of them now. Think about it; back in the day, there were only hundreds to thousands of video games. Now... omg... there are HUNDREDS of thousands. Possibly millions (IDK).

I have a PS4, but grew up on NES. And you're spot on. I remember thinking "Contra","Double Dragon","Ninja Gaiden" & later "Sonic the Hedgehog" from Sega Genesis were the ultimate in graphics. Now, I play "NHL '22" & "Minecraft" daily & it's no comparison.
