Return to games

Contra is one of the games on the NES which is even better than its arcade form.

It is a particularly bad ass game, with Geiger-like aliens and cool explodey stuff.

I got better at it when I stopped using the 30 lives code.

One time I finished it without dying. I can't do that anymore.

I like Contra better than Super C actually.

The best weapon is the spread gun.

The in between 3D like levels were always kind of interesting. Didn't fit in with the other levels as much, but didn't see levels like that in NES games much.

Something about the game feels very "Konami". Castlevania, Goonies 2, Gradius and Metal Gear also had that kind of Konami polished feel.
