It was kinda lame how the extra stages' bosses were just the base generator thingies. I guess at least this version's final boss could defend itself to the very end.
LOL this version of the main theme is the version they used in Contra Rebirth. I thought maybe it was an original remix of the song made specifically for that game but obviously not.
Actually, the one in Rebirth was their take on the original theme from the arcade game, if you've ever played it. Contra and Super Contra were both coin-op arcade games originally, and they decided to stick to the original theme for this MSX port (only sped up a little), while the NES/Famicom one was remixed a little bit (and also sped up a little). The waterfall theme for the MSX game is probably the best version I've ever heard, but the game itself is kinda lame compared to the other ports.
Theres too much crap in between Red Falcon and the fortress, too much monotony and repetitiveness. Just a few levels would have been sufficient, looks like it gets boring after awhile.
It's alright. I don't like the screen by screen transitions instead of scrolling though. It makes it easier to die, but not in a "crap I shouldn't have done that." kind of way, more like a "how the hell was I supposed to know that would be there?" kind of way.
I thought the screen by screen scrolling was a refreshing change of pace for this kind of game but I also found felt like I was dying in the "how the hell was I supposed to know that would be there?" kind of way. So I ended up firing the rifle like crazy every time I got near the side of the screen.
J'ignore si tu l'as déjà mentionné mais... quelle est la différence entre Gryzor et Contra, car j'ai toujours cru que Contra était le nom du jeu originalement nommé Gryzor, mais changé de nom pour la version américaine à cause du film sorti en Amérique.
Vraiment, il n'y a aucune film nommé Contra ou Gryzor. Oui, originalement, c'était Contra (plusieurs personnes croient que c'était originalement Gryzor en Japon).
Gryzor est le nom du Contra arcade en Europe et ses quelques conversions pour les ordinateurs. L'etymologie du Gryzor, je ne connais pas.
this looks good but the NES better

I give the game 9/10!!! Not 10/10 because it seems just little repetitive in the later stages. Other than that, this is pure WIN!! ;-)

This version isn't that bad. I mean the way he walks is just too funny, I guess. :P

Main theme really has more of a metal gear feel to it on MSX.

This is consequent of the lack of scrolling. Personally, I really like this version.

Did anyone else notice that there's a HUGE lack of creativity in the additional levels? They're just caves and a pseudo 3D stage with no boss.
Jacob041593 3 years ago
Most old fans noticed this already and it's mentioned in wikipedia and Contra HQ. Goes to show that Contra couldn't have had more back then.
Still, this game is good.

Very recognisable. That's exactly what I do as well. Seems the only way to survive, else they just get you every time. :-)

Ensuite, quels sont les jeux Contra/Gryzor que tu deja sais?
iniche 3 years ago
I played Gryzor on C64, Contra on NES, Super Contra one time, and that's it.
La pochette du jeu NES Contra avec les personnages Rambo et... celui de Arnold dans Predateur... c'est une influence certaine avec le cinéma, non?
newcoleco 3 years ago
Evidemment, oui.
It was common for most arcade games and the like back then to borrow heavily from pop culture for their media.
