How to beat Contra: Step 1.) Get the spread gun Step 2.) Keep the spread gun

[@alejandroiwaswonderingliza4676]

!

[@Celestial07]

+MikeRoePhonicsMusic Yes, I've been doing 'No Death' thanks to it!

[@thatweirdgreenparrot7715]

That is soooooo true!!

[@Celestial07]

I did yet another 'No Death' just two days ago! Why is this game one of the easiest NES games I've ever played? Difficulty-wise, this is right up there with MM2. Super C is harder, for sure. I've only done it once on that one (and cause of Level 6!).

[@Celestial07]

StygianTraveler141 I've seen 'em! Yeah, they can't play, for sure! Kids nowadays.. lol

[@TheCodedtestament]

After all these years, still one of my favorite games from the NES and it's still infinitely replayable.

[@conorburke1999]

Contra, the greatest game that can be completed in the length of a sitcom episode.

[@ChescoYT]

i played only once and Havent played since 1988, just finished it within 45 mins. Shocking how short the game is, but boy is it good, challenging yet fair. Lots of memorization in this game to not get hit. Crossed it off the bucketlist, now on to Mike Tyson's Punchout!!!

[@matthewdrake2210]

I can sum this game up in 2 ways, It has the action and intensity of Rambo and the thrill and adrenaline of Die Hard, Contra is truly a masterpiece that I appreciate every second of.

[@TheNewEmphinix]

Matthew Drake Contra IS a masterpiece bro. But I would say that Contra is like a combination of Rambo, Alien and Predator. Besides, Bill and Lance are drawn in the likeness of Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

[@matthewdrake2210]

That's a very good assessment.

[@jeanpaulmedellin]

Matthew Drake this is a man's game

[@matthewdrake2210]

Oh yeah you got that Right, That's another great way of putting it!!!!

[@johnconnor8937]

It's gay

[@defblinders9585]

Me and cousin playing this back in '90- Me: "I'm getting the spread gun." Cousin: "No, I want it. You always get the spread gun and leave me with the stupid laser." Me: "Every time you get the spread gun you always die right after and lose it anyway." Cousin: "No I don't!" Me: "Fine, you can have it if it shuts you up." Just as he gets it, he falls into a pit.

I never beat this game as kid. I finally beat this game at the age of 29 !! Felt so good !!!

[@espeonspring8560]

I know right.

[@PatrickRob82]

If only you knew it'd take you 20 years to beat. That'd be discouraging for 9yo you lol

[@dereklarner6298]

I feel sorry that nobody tipped you off to the contra code as a kid...with three continues, at 30 men a pop, that’s 90 lives, which should be more than enough for anyone to get through the game.

[@LabTech41]

Didn't know about the Komami Code back then?

[@jayaanand9594]

You should use some cheats .....

[@JAMILHOSTILE]

Contra was about 2 dudes fucking shit up to the max with bad ass weapons!!!!

[@josephmora5230]

I stayed up for HOURS, this was the shit back in da day!!!

[@nukacookie4755]

I loved this game, but it is hard as hell.... Love that bad ass soundtrack :D

[@MaxickGX]

This was MY Call of Duty back in the day.

Tawk Sick And it is still better than Call of Duty. Such a crazy intense game! One hit and dead. Dodging all those bullets. Great shit!

[@Christopher0184]

Please don't compare this awesome game to the piece of crap that is Call of Duty.

[@SinisterServal]

3 things this game will do to you. 1, Make you a man, 2, give your thumbs a workout, 3, make you watch Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Oh and it may boil your blood, unless you use the konami code, Ok I'm done now

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

For real!

[@duartemonteiro9459]

More classic than Back to the future(the movie of course) this game is one of the best NES games ever made. The difficulty is insane and with two players it just gets double insane. Trying to keep up with each others moves is more challenging than dodge the 1 billion bullets flying around. Very good graphics (especially that "3D" perspective) and music, one of the best games ever made. My rate: 20/20. PS: DO NOT LOSE SPREAD.

[@PCgamer393]

Cuantos años han pasado y sigue igual de bueno el videojuego como cuando lo jugaba de niño.

[@luiscoronado273]

I never imagined this game would be this short if you never die as everybody do

[@christopherbenassi7721]

I could spend 10 hrs at the gym and i wouldnt piss as much sweat as I do when playing this game for two mins, a classic. Thank you for my adult anxiety Contra.

[@coondogtheman]

Best NES game ever made.

Classic Nintendo game are famous for being first-rate. So with that said, we could learn to make a list of at least 50 greatest all-time video games that have to do with gaming’s biggest company.

I was born in a spanish-speaking country... now, after 28 years I can finaly "consider myself a Hero!"! Never understood what it meant, until now that I've seen the end once again after all this years... By far, this is the best game ever made for the NES console!!

[@thatweirdgreenparrot7715]

I guess I must have one of the coolest moms in the world. I was 5-6 years old, when she take me into world of videogames with this Contra!!! Damn, back then she really love this game, and I can't count how many times we play this game together back then. And even today she still love playing videogames with dad...

[@abandonedchannel546]

I remember playing this game in my childhood. I remember breaking my brother's NES Controller and got grounded for a week

[@ChescoYT]

lol why or how did you break it? Was it from the rage quit?

[@allnamesaretakenful]

You deserved far worse.

[@JinzoCrash]

"Red Falcon"?!? It was a giant freaking testicle.

[@munsi0121]

It looks more like a heart

[@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000]

Jinzo Clash the alien looks like a dick also

[@HGSSubStudio]

Red Falcon is not a character name, it's a name of the alien organization.

[@TheMissingLink2]

@@HGSSubStudio Well, technically it's the name of an earth terrorist organization that got their hands on the alien cells and technology but was eventually subdued by the aliens and brainwashed. In the English release, the leader of Red Falcon was identified as such. Due to this, Konami canonically change the name of the alien leader from" Emperor Demon Dragon God Java" to Red Falcon in the English release for sequel titles. Honest Red Falcon sounds better than that other shit.

[@aayushpal3135]

@@TheMissingLink2 They called that thing a 'god' but didn't decide to make it harder in difficulty at all.

[@mrball1604]

still to this day, contra has the perfect side shooter with the best controls hands down, forever a classic

[@maceinmyeyes6915]

I’ve played this game so much as a little kid I can play it now and beat it without losing a single life. Both Contra and Super C

Playing 2 player if I remember correctly was the epic part of this game... Couldn't you play at the same time ? Man it's been so long.... memories...

[@PeterGargan]

Played this for the first time the other day as someone who never grew up with the NES (it came out way before I was even born) and I can safely say that this has held up really well. Would love to see Bill and Lance join Super Smash Bros. one day.

For those who didn't know,*R* is rapid fire. It makes your bullet go faster. I though it was rifle at first time though.

[@PrekiFromPoland]

Why would it? Besides, the "Contra" title itself was deemed controversial back in the day (because Iran-Contra scandal), so the next game was simply called "Super C". And don't even get me started on "Probotector"...

Hehe, Probotector.

You need to be PUNnished for that.

[@44bigfreeze]

Super Mario Bros. 3 only lasted around 2 hours, yet the GBA version has a 94 on Metacritic

[@inputfunny]

Console games were hard back then mostly because of the limited space they had with the cartridges. They could only fit so much stuff into the games and they didn't want kids to go home and beat the game in less than an hour.
