Bad Trip down memory lane

This is a purely nostalgia-only rental. Yes, you can get 30 guys on Contra and beat it in about 15 minutes. However, Contra is the only saving grace of the bunch (and I'd give Contra a 5 out of 10 by itself). The problem here is that these games play EXACTLY like the arcade versions. No continues, 3 lives (or attempts in Track & Field) and you're done. I was hoping to make it far in Rush 'n Attack and T & F but got frustrated at the relative difficulty. Personally, I feel that a console version of an old arcade game should allow for unlimited continues. If you want to be frustrated as you were in 1986 playing these games, go right ahead.
