New arcade games

"Arguably the best-known example of the Konami Code is in the 1988 NES version of Contra, where using the code increases the player's lives from 3 to 30. Due to the game's intense difficulty, many Contra players became reliant on the code to finish the game, earning it the title "The Contra Code"."

People can't beat Contra in less than three lives?! HA. Losers.

I downloaded the original Contra on Xbox Live a while back, and some of the achievements are ridiculous. Finish the Game with One Life seems impossible, but the saddest one is Complete the Game in Less than 12 Minutes. My friends and I used to pull all nighters on the NES version, and the bastard is completable in 12 minutes...

WOW. THAT is impressive.

Yeah, Mario 3 can be completed in about 7 mins, if my memory serves me right.
