    You guys just unlocked my core memories of playing Contra on the Famicom in Iran in the 90s.

    We used to call the Red Pants Guy “Arnold” for some reason. And I guess Blue Plants Guy was just “Contra”??

      Beating contra on my much older cousins Nintendo litterally helped form a component of my identity. My other cousin and I made it a personal mission, but we had to accomplish on weekend barbeques nights. And we did eventually do it.

      Red pants guys name was definitely Arnold .
