I think my problem with responding to this thread is that I always am aware of the limitations technologically and graphically of the time. Games are from the eras they are from. Certainly I don’t feel the same enjoyment, but I don’t think that makes the games less awesome.
Contra’s one hit kill and clunky controls make it difficult to play the game these days, and there’s not much motivation for me to get back into the game, but I wouldn’t say it isn’t awesome. That same narrative plays out in my head with almost all games I would put into this category.
