This is my first successful one-credit run of the XBLA Contra, but I wasn't satisfied with it. I've done another run which makes this one obsolete. The new one has a lot more speed and style. Go watch that one instead! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il-pTSK0ihQ

This is a video of my first single credit completion of Contra on Xbox 360. You'll notice straight away that this game is WAY shorter than it was on the NES. Regardless, Contra has more cheap deaths per minute than any other game on Xbox Live Arcade, and getting through the arcade version's 5 stages with no Konami code isn't easy by any standard.

Oh yeah, I actually die 4 times in this run. If you want to see a no death run of this game, check out HyperCombo's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfqiSOtAyp8 run-through. He uses a spread gun for the entire game and takes his time in some parts, but it's still worth watching.

  • fake look at 7;52 he has 16 lives

  • That's because at 7:52 I kill the final boss and earn 1 million points - a bonus so big it's enough to earn 15 extra lives. Nice try though.

  • The boss after the second tunne; looks tonnes glitched. This is prob because of the fram rate that your recorder uses. For those who dont know it is meant to flash (hence the frame rate prob and then seperate (still flashing) the combe back together.

  • You are correct. I record at 30fps, and the game alternates between showing the left image one frame and the right image the next, making two flashing images. In this recording, you don't get to see the boss split and come back together, so it was pretty hard to hit.

  • 6:18 was hilarious ;p

  • Oh, right, I died on purpose there. That barrier I got right after that only appears if you don't have any powerups when you reach it, and the only way to get rid of your powerups is to die.
