The guy who composed the original theme to such great NES Konami classics as Contra was tracked down, and his compositions reviewed with him after over 20 years. Unfortunately, the interview seems forced and the guy didn’t ask any of the questions I would have (like what were the limitations of programming sound for the NES, what tricks or techniques he used, what software or hardware tools he used), but it’s still cool to see the man behind such classic sounds.

Also interesting is this ad for the arcade version of the game with the seemingly random “Contra girl” that just happens to be posing in the middle of the jungle next to a Contra arcade cabinet… that I assume is solar powered…
