Video: 11 Year-Old Plays Contra and Hates It

Man, hearing kids that were born no later than last decade makes me feel old when they talk about forms of entertainment. It reminds me of when I was younger and ‘older’ people would talk about some of the greats films that were made before I was born. They would try to lecture me on why films of the past were more original and thought out than the ones I grew up with. Of course, overtime I understood and appreciated movies of the past, it just took a little growing up.

Now, I’m starting to see this younger generation who never played or owned a system older than the first PlayStation, blast some of the great retro games. Up top is one of those examples.

Nerdballoon decided to ask an 11 year-old kid what he thought of the legendary Contra game. What he has to say makes me cringe for a number of reasons and at the same time, I me want to strangle him through my computer. I just hope as he gets older, he understands without these fantastic games of the yesteryear, he probably would never have Halo or Call of Duty.

  1. funniest thing is the kid isnt even old enough to play halo 3 or call of duty
    so he must have some pretty bad parents


  2. I’m an older gamer and I have always hated Contra.

    I remember when I got it for Christmas on my C64.
