Introducing our new "Retro Sketch" series...a tribute to games past!

Greetings everyone, ToXicTeK here. I would like start of this post off by saying that things are a bit crazy here at SG and I just wanted to assure all of you that despite some of challenges that we're having, we getting ready to introduce to you a new series that will help kick off the summer for all of us. I would like to introduce you all to the new series, "Retro Sketch":. Through this series we will be paying tribute to games of of past generations that serve as the foundation and roots of gaming in general. Any game that has been on a console since the dawn of time prior to consoles such as the Xbox, and Wii, will be posted up on our channel. We're all excited about starting this new series., Such classic titles such as Contra and Kirby's Dreamland are currently in the works and being prepped for publishing. We here at SG hope that  you enjoy this small tribute to gaming history as we conquer, and rage (lol), every possible game there is to possibly play!!! To start this series off, I would like to introduce to you all the first game in  our lineup for the series, Contra.

Welcome everyone to the first post of "Retro Sketch". For our first entry, we would like to introduce the game "Contra" for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).  Contra was a title published and developed by Konami.  Originally an game for the arcade, a NES version was released in February 1988.  This game can either played by yourself cooperatively with a second player. The one thing that it I truly enjoyed playing this as a child and again now is experiencing what I feel a true test of a gamer should be. Fun, replayable and best of all no, NO SAVE feature. Granted with an emulator, you can save and load those savestates, but to truly enjoy and appreciate what a game this is, I would challenge every gamer to go through this game without using the savestate feature or simply play it on the original console itself. I truly had fun playing this game and I look forward to sharing with you all the joys being "old school" has. Until next time my fellow gamer's.....GET YOUR GAME ON!!!
