I know everyone has their opinion but 3 dislikes..??? They must didn't play the game or maybe they were the ones that hit the up button at the wrong time on this stage, got electrocuted then blown up by a hailed stick of dynamite! The memories of destroying this stage without dying gives you an automatic liking to this track!!! hahaha.. LOVE this game!!!
i once had contra in some sort of game collection and it included a few contra1 with different starting stats my favorite: start with 30 lives and S(preadgun)
I remember getting a nintendo from my uncle when i was 3 or 4 and that was the one i mostly played although we also had a playstation. I grew up with mario and contra. I may only be 14, but this takes me back. :3
this was the DAYS me and my friends played it everyday beating the shit out that game and never get boring just laughing over and over again listening to good music and talking.
I know ther will be still some maniacs who would try to make (or are making now) retro-alikes. For example, I saw once on Newgrounds a flash game, titled "Ivan Drago!". It was side-scrolling fighting game, like Double Dragon. Gameplay was fine, and music made this game the friggin' heaven.
Too bad everything now is about graphics.
Of course, there are still unique titles, like Devil May Cry series. But I'm getting sick of First Person Shooters. The newest ones are damn same (Maybe Halo isn't)!
The only prob I have with games today is the fact that the music sucks. You dont have the awesome stage themes or title screen themes. The NES, SNES and Genesis were the last consoles to have great themes. PS1 had some, but not that many.
If u need a song so bad from youtube. download an mp3 recorder or record it with windows vaw recorder. at least you got the song to transfere on your phone
This is probably my favorite music from that game. So many of these NES games had awesome soundtracks. So memorable. I can't think of too many games today that have music you remember.
The problem is that they try to have to much variety in just one song, instead of being a simple tune it's a big symphony that's like 7 minutes long and changes several times tgroughout. They make songs too complex.
When I was a teenager playing Contra, I always enjoyed playing Stage 2 and 4, and I always liked hearing this VGM because it always made me feel like I had to forge ahead, despite the upcoming challanges.
