Contra-Jungle Music

[AILOS27]

i love the nes version of this song!

[ImmaGeneralBlue]

Yeah, I have an arcade cabinet of Contra in my basement. :D

[dannwe123]

NES Version is much better

[gamerguy425]

@dannwe123 as much as like the arcade verison your right the nes version has smaller characters so you can see your surroundings better and get more warning for bullets, the arcade version is like 300x prettier tho

[TheVideoGametuts]

@dannwe123 yeah but i like the arcade music better than the nes music. theyre slightly different but i still prefer the arcade's music

[Iriatv]

All I have to say is ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A start

[jamalaron]

i thought the nes version was awesome then i heard this

[AnimaxRules]

Lol Contra was the Call of duty of the 80's XD, just for hardcore gamers to beat without the Konami code

[captainamerica86]

I love this game & music

[shadowwolf337]

Still sounds GREAT!! I really miss the era of the mighty arcades! Thanks for uploading this!

[KoterzRulez]

I think I wasted more then 50 bucks just to get past the first stage...

The arcade one rocks!

[006vj]

their names are bill razer and solomon caesar

[sohchx]

This is the original music from the arcade machine.

[benjimight]

who ever put that wierd break in the second riff was a douche, they totally wrecked the flow, i admit the sound quality is better but they destroyed the intricasy, they should have kept it the same tunes just amped up the sound quality, they should buy the rights to use vertex guys version for future stuff

[cubs2084]

Wow. As much as I love the NES version of this tune, the arcade version offers so much more!

[SirAndrew1983]

De verdad que si miguel. esos eran los personajes, de hecho creia que eran ellos antes

[MIGUEL97808]

vaya si hubieran hecho una pelicula de contra de seguro hubieran escogido a arnold y stallone para los papeles......

[G33KSPALACEdotCOM]

I have the Contra Arcade Machine at home xD This game is my all time favourite shooter, it was fun in the 80's and it's still fun now :P

[tbone2004]

This song makes a triumphant return in the upcoming Wii-ware game, Contra Rebirth! CAN'T WAIT!!

[alambrix]

[scir91]

WOW, the arcade sounds so much better with its drums!

[Tatsumachine50K]

[LoLpcReviews]

Hey dude, could you hand me the link aswell? Love this game

[KTKore]

NES version is better.

[FIxt00l]

Fantastic motiv, I listen to it daily, but, the best part of this legendary music, at 0:50, sounds like a kind of a damn parody...Maybe too much electronic influence?

[RoyalFool47]

At 0:17, the guy on the left reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger from Predator.

[alahos]

I always sorta figured them to be Schwarzenegger and Stallone XD

[mic7reaper]

@alahos you forgot the alien face from the movie alien in the middle xD lol

[diamonds6137]

@alahos LOL I always thought the same thing when I was a kid, seing the cover of the original nes game.

[Soundwav1337]

I say to you this then. "Where did you think they got it from then?"

All they did was just slightly change Arnold from Predator to look like Bill Rizer, and Sylvester Stallone from Rambo to look like Lance Bean.

And the alien that's in between the two? From Alien. That's the actual story.

[vfIskullangel]

@RoyalFool47 Thats because it is Arnold Schwarzenegger from Predator. The Artists of the game actually used the template from the movie poster to design it.

[XYoshimitsuX]

up up down down left right left right B A START

[semmis91]

nice.....contra......bring back memories...

[Parluxgrounds]

The nes version is just like the arcade version. But the 3rd person runninf part is a little downgraded but its still fun

[magmablock]

up up down down left right left right B A START

[TetrisAsh]

its the code

[brendanbrady]

up up down down left right left right B A SELCET START

Always played two players personally.

[henritje19]

may the code be with you

[sniperclown]

i remember only 3 lives for the whole game...but theres a 30 lives cheat hahahaha

[ArseArsensCreed]

yup the contra code, this first cheat programed into a video game

[TenguGuy]

Nah, the code was in Gradius before it was in Contra.

[TenguGuy]

Not this version. This is the arcade version! The code let you have 30 lives in only the NES version.

[luckster81]

Dear god... the memories... the countless hours of life spent in a futile attempt to beat the game in a single run without pausing... now I have a strong urge to go dig up my NES and hook that baby up!

[n00bz4r]

I was looking for oldschool drum & bass and this came up

[ReggaeZal]

this was an awesome game, fuck off halo twats. you cant spell classic without class.

i loved the music, theres another version, my first video game too! god, it was like 10 years back...

[Foxstab]

I don't think Halo twats can handle 1hit-kill games. Too much shielding training and not enough Jack Burton reflexes.

[jamalif]

You know it! I miss when attacks where fatal and dodgeing was a tactic that was essential to master. Also the shield from Halo is awful since the shield regenerates there's no damage build-up you can just run away to heal yourself everyone does it and where's the fun in that?

[TenguGuy]

Fuck Halo. Fuck FPS as a whole.

[TenguGuy]

Super Contra?

[semmis91]

nonono this is contra 1 not super contra

[TenguGuy]

I know, I was replying to someone who was asking about a sequel where "you jump out of a helicopter". Obviously talking about the part in the first level where the player jumps out of a helicopter.

[DjKap0n3]

omg where the hell do u guys get these tracks?!

this brings back soooooooooooooo many memories man wow

[Xyloni]

U suck

[HYBRIDARTS]

I'd love to see a new Contra, kind of looking more like Gears of war, but with more action like in Contra (jumping around and all), and good remakes of this awesome awesome awesome music

[OblivionSilk]

ah, sorry then. Ive heard countless Halo Fanboys cryout against anything that beats it (which happens to be an aweful lot), including The Contra series.

[IceWarrior98]

Let me guess, saw you got 6 thumbs down and decided to change your mind?

[MwuLaFllaga]

OMG Contra, my first third person shooter..

[OblivionSilk]

Let me guess - halo fanboy?? Contra still has one of the best musical scores ever devised. I doubt any real gamer will deny that.

[D0NRICKLES]

Up,Up,Down,Down,Left,Right,Lef­t,Right,B,A,Start

[unknowntwilight]

activated! 30lives!

[chafez22]

la otra es mejor aguante el famili

[fulismilk]

I don't like this version, the other one is way more epic.

[GIGZSAW]

I think this version of the theme is better.

[pathosis]

Testing

[CrazyMan2345]

In your next video of contra music, can u put the orignal jungle music from the NES version?

[CSSOcelot]

It is from the nes version the only thing is that it has been revised and its not 8-bit lol.

[supercj12]

@CSSOcelot Dude, this isnt revised, this is the arcade port which came out before the NES port. Plus, the NES port was way better than the shitty arcade version.

[GIGZSAW]

Crazyman, The arcade version of Contra was released one full year before the NES version(which you hold in unusually high regard).That makes this the original version of the jungle theme. So no whining!

[vdig]

Um... this version of the jungle theme is the arcade version.

[wii1245]

Whoever did this has done a good job.

One question: is it me or does it sound a bit like Sega Genesis type music?

[CSSOcelot]

To be honest it dose sound like Genesis but it's a NES game.

[TekmonX]

@CSSOcelot

-looks up the specs- the arcade machine uses a YM2151, which is a Yamaha Sound chip, so that is why it sounds like a genesis game, for the Sega Genesis, and other various arcade games used Yamaha sounds chips, this is why it sounds like a Sega genesis :).

[Alianger]

@wii1245 It's because the MD sound chip (YM2612) is basically a different version of what was used in arcades at this time.
