You shouldn't have posted this :) EDIT: I remember playing a copycat of konami's contra at childhood, and had wondered what the name of that game was. Now I know the original, thanks!

I would have thought the Nintendo Lawyers would have sent out their Scud Missile on that server within 5 minutes.

Seems like the emulator window does not get cursor keys, cursor down, for example, selects a ROM.

I had the same problem until I manually focused the emulator window by clicking it. Fine after that. Firefox 51.0.something x32 on Windows 7.

RBI baseball two player online would be awesome. (If taking requests)

Came here to say this. Also Tecmo Bowl

There has to be enough nostalgia over Tecmo Super Bowl to warrant such a thing. People organize tournaments all over the country, a car company based a commercial on it, and stuff like the NES Classic shows a lot of interest in throwback gaming.

Whoever owns Tecmo's IP now put out a modern version of it, but it wasn't very good and was based on the the 16-bit version, not the 8-bit classic.

I'm sure there are issues still using the player's names, but those could be replaced with something generic, like QB Eagles :)
