Super Contra

Konami's 1988 title Super Contra is a fast-paced run and gun game. As the sequel to the original Contra, players once again assume the roles of commandos Bill Rizer and Lance Bean. Gun upgrades can now be collected twice to enhance their firepower, which comes in handy against the relentless alien horde you'll have to face.

It's hard to stay inside while the weather is this nice, so I'm going to keep this quick and to the point:

  • Both Butter Pecan and Pumpkin Pie ice cream have made triumphant returns to the menu.
  • S'more Sundaes are back for the fall! They are gooey and delicious.

Okay, now we're going back to walking up and down Main Street until our legs fall off.

For the first time ever, Tubby Robot will be open Tuesday evening -- starting tonight!

We'll be open from 5pm - 9pm.

A seven day week is uncharted territory for us. Do human beings even eat ice cream on Tuesdays? I don't know, but with your help we're going to find out.

Things get REAL in our final tier list episode of the Summer. This time we rank 40 flavors of ice cream in a knock-out drag-down battle, and feelings are definitely going to get hurt.

Do you agree with our rankings, or are we totally off base?

The boys get into it and make a tier list for every major video game controller they can remember.

They have some surprisingly strong opinions about Playstation controllers in particular.

Did you know that there is a videogame based on Beethoven's 2nd?

We're talking about the dog movie. Not the symphony.

Tonight marks the first Manayunk Stroll the Street of 2024, and it will keep rolling every Thursday through August.

That's pretty great news! Here's some more: we'll be selling our beloved made-to-order ice cream sandwiches every day of Stroll, and they're still being made with fresh cookies baked by My Sweet Gluttony.

This is a Thursday-only thing! If you come in on a Saturday looking for ice cream sandwiches, we will be forced to slowly shake our heads in a disapproving fashion.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! The shop is closed today but we'll be back to our normal schedule on Wednesday.

The neighborhood is filled with music this weekend thanks to the Sing Us Home festival!

Last year we partnered with the organizers of Sing Us Home to concoct a special sundae, and it was received so well WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN. The "Sing Us Home Sundae Experience" starts with a scoop of Dulce de Leche ice cream and is topped with caramel sauce, whipped cream, and a toasted churro.

This weekend ALSO marks the celebration of Cinco de Mayo, and we have our classic Fried Ice Cream to keep you covered on that front as well. It's an embarrassment of limited edition Mexican-inspired frozen confections!

Happy Easter to all who are observing! The shop is closed today so our staff can spend time with their families.

We'll be back to our regular schedule tomorrow.

Today we are thrilled to celebrate Tubby Robot's 7th anniversary!

As has become tradition, both owners Steve and Chris will be running the shop this evening. We'll be serving up freshly-baked Ice Cream Hoagies, sharing stories, and plotting our direction for the NEXT seven years.

Thanks go out to everyone who has conquered a 4-scoop Belgian Waffle Sundae, brought friends by from out of town for an Ice Cream Flight, ordered a mini cup of Cinnamon Boast Bunch, or picked up half gallons for home during a blizzard. We wouldn't be able to do this without you, and we don't plan on stopping any time soon.
