Old Game:
Bionic Commando

Relatively new game:
Tie between Super Metroid and Castelvania: Symphony of the Nights

I still play Contra too, can never get tired of that game. Contra on SNES was pretty cool too.

Like Jack, I'd say Aliens vs Predator (available in Final Burn emulation), then the Metal Slug series and the Shock Trooper series (though that was more scrolling up most of the time) (neogeo emulation).

I have no clue, since I am only master of the original Contra. Of course, seeing as the last couple Contra games have been sub-par, it would not seem likely, but you never know.

Everyone I talk to remembers the code, probably for two reasons.
1. The game is pretty much impossible to solve without the extra men.
2. The code does not always take and must be preformed multiple times.

Lifeforce- the game takes place inside of someones body. I always thought that was rather disturbing (and a little gross).

Super Mario 2 - That game was just so damned weird. Go back and play it now. I really think Miyamuto was on crack when he thought up that one.
