So, the NEETs have rediscovered the classics!

Everybody is having fun with that immortal classic.

What's the game in the third panel?

I think that's the Kunio-Kun dodgeball game.

That said, it's good to see Patchouli's actually warming up to these.

Looking at Rinnosuke taking Mega Man's role, I guess the reference is to his psychometry being analogous to how Rock emulates other androids' weapons?

Still chuckling over the contra bit here.

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start.

The 3 most epic games: Rockman, Contra and River city ransom <3

Nope, it HAS to be Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari. Released in Amurica as River City Ransom.

Mokou sprite holds stick - and there were few Kunio-kun games where you could do that. And it looks like area by school, just litle before game final. Patchy sprite looks like from RCR too.

Don't look like that, I kinda did wrote solution to one of those games... Man, I would go bonkers, if they would remake those series. Real remakes. I liked original humor of games.

Patchouli: BARF!

Okay, you win.

I remember all those games fondly. Glad Mokou was able to reconnect them with the claims that led to the games they now enjoy.

Damned autocorrect.

Touhou Contra? Why isn't there one yet?

Even these games are very old.
But since these games can't have good graphic because tech limit at time.
Game-play still rock and enjoyable even in present days.

Those Yuyuko heads look like flying houses. They kind of remind me of either the bats or those tadpoles found in Gemini Man's stage. Anyone want to take a guess who's stage that is though?

Still, Mokou's reaction "Just as Planned" just says it all. Classics are just the best games there will be.

I was going to say it looks an awful lot like Cut Man's level from the first game, but now I'm not so sure.

Mega Kourin Man, Danmaku Contra & Youkai City Ransom.

Man, classic games may be graphically old but their fun is indeed still timeless.

I think DanmaKuntra sounds better and is punnier.

There was a successful Kickstarter for an official sequel to River City Ransom.

Best part about River City Ransom: BARF!

I love you.

Patchy got 5 damages.

I feel old and joy looking at this nostalgic scene. Ahh sweet childhood memory.
