Jim Power has been around the block. He’s been on a few other systems before heading onto the Super NES. Did his jump to Nintendo’s 16-bit machine prove fruitful?
Find out here.

I had a hard time picking up which track I’d post as they are almost all excellent!

That is a good track. The songs on this game should have been put on CD back in the day.

I just picked up this game for my collection today. It was cheap and I had never heard of it. I find it to be a great game. The music is great, the graphics are great, the gameplay is great. And yeah it’s hard, but it’s not brutally hard. Not as much as you present it to be. Contra III is a harder game. Any Contra is and you get no level select with those. Hell, Smash TV is much harder. This game is not a simple platformer. It’s a classic permadeath game that is nice enough to give continues at all. This game easily deserves 3 1/2-4 stars.

Thanks for reading my review daedstarr. While it’s hard to say if Contra is harder (there is a trick to get 29 lives) than Jim Powers, I would contend Contra is a more fun game. Controlling your character in Contra feels so much more satisfying than in Jim Powers. Jim’s jumping ability is definitely stunted; I often felt like I wouldn’t make a lot of jumps, enemies do hit you unexpectedly when you’re trying to scroll to the next part of the stage, and Jim’s weapon isn’t as effective as the guns in Contra.
I’m glad someone out there likes it though. Perhaps you can submit a 2nd opinion for this game!
