From the past month:
Contra Hard Corps - Japanese version, man what were they thinking giving a health bar. Still a great game but the American version is so much better without the health bar. I remember this game blowing me away when I played it for the first time in the mid-2000s, unfortunately doesn't hit the same but what does? Still great. So incredibly imaginative.
Contra Advance - shitty port of III with two levels of Hard Corps. Shitty, shitty port. And I love the SNES game. What a waste of potential by not just making an all-new Contra for the GBA instead.
Metal Slug - still a classic, still a perfect game.
Metal Slug 2 - like it better now than when I had it on MVS. Is it my emulation machine taking away the slowdown?
Metal Slug X - guys how do we feel about killing dogs? Mummy dogs, but still
Metal Slug 4 - no idea what they were thinking when whoever made this, made it
Metal Slug 5 - actually a good game. Doesn't touch the Nazca game but still good. I remember thinking the final boss confusing me the first time I played this game when it came out, but it makes sense they're fighting cultists summoning some Cthulu-esque monster. Haven't played this in such a long time along with 4, was glad it still held up for me.
Aliens - Konami arcade game. I had heard good things for a long time, and it is a fun arcade game. I like the liberties Konami took with the aliens.
