It’s been a while since I’ve played a beat em up that isn’t Final Fight or SOR 2/3, so i’m glad I picked up the Capcom Beat Em Up collection so I can find out about hidden gems like this!
The King Of Dragons sort of reminds me of Golden Axe with the medieval setting, use of weapons, and midgets which run across the screen occasionally and will give you cool shit if you hit them. They are, gameplay-wise, very different however. While one aged like dogshit and is incredibly jank and unfun, the other is actually fun and incredibly beautiful with some excellent pacing. I think you can tell which is which.
That final boss is hype asf too. I can imagine kids back in 1991 pissing themselves after seeing it.

Without a doubt the superior way to play SSF2T. Yeah, there may only be 4 buttons, but who uses medium punches/kicks anyway (that might just be me though idk)?
There’s no glitched AI, there’s a training mode where I FINALLY learnt how to do a shoryuken, and overall the package is much stronger than the arcade one. I really don’t have too much to say, it’s just a good port of what would’ve been the best version of Street Fighter II if they didn’t fuck up the CPU.

super meat boy is better
1996
Even though it brought Astro mans' stage and Wily Stage 3 into existence, the game is still fantastic on most other factors, having banger's like Tengu man's stage and wily stage 2. The anime cut-scenes are iconic.

Not as bad as people will have you think, but that doesn't mean its good. The 'ending' is way too short, and ends out of no where, and the combat usually leaves you so outnumbered that you forced to take a few lives.
2016
fuckin awesome
Improves upon the original game in most aspects, except the controls. Alex feels so slippery, its hard to finish a lot of the levels that I originally breezed through in the first game.

So much damn fun.
I do prefer Smooth Moves a bit more, but this is definitely a close 2nd.

The Heist-5/10
Turf Wars-8/10
Silver Lining-7/10
Pretty good DLC, but nothing incredible about it. Had a fun time overall though

Fun game, but a bit too easy. Once you know to kill each of the enemies, its a walk in the park. Love the music.
1987
Way easier than i thought, even if you only get about 4 continues. Pretty sure contra 3 strengthened my senses.
1991
A massive improvement from the first game, until world 8, when they finally remember this is suppose to be an AI game, and make the final world hard as SHIT. Good game overall tho
2001
The 3.3 star rating on this game is criminal.
Honestly, i would've never beaten this if the contra anniversary collection didn't have the Japanese version, which not only gives you infinite continues, no matter the difficulty, but also has a 30 lives cheat. If you want an actually enjoyable experience, play the Japanese version, crank that shit up to hard mode, and use the 30 lives code.
Oh, and FUCK STAGE 5

Stage 1, 2 and 3 are really boring, but after that it gets way better. Stage 8 is fucking hell to finish though. Probably my least favourite Contra so far, but its still a great time
