@JavonteTreble You can play it using MAME, or else you can get it on XBLA.

I mean it's pretty impressive that you didn't get hit and all that, but it doesn't really seem like a "speed run." :)

The fastest way to beat the waterfall level is actually probably to grab the invincibility item at the beginning and then ascend the stage completely ignoring all enemies and kill the boss while still invulnerable. IMO.

@destructorv2 the laser "most hated" says who?

No, it's not. The arcade version is WAY better!!

Contra reminds me even MORE of Alien now. They even ripped the Pulse Rifle.

@3:59 "Hey Commander, we've reached the hostile human, should we run him over with our spiked grill?" "Hmmm, no. Hit the brakes, sit still and keep shooting over his head. That ought to work." "But sir, he keeps shooting at us.." "Don't worry, we have our orders and I'm sure Red Falcon knows what.." *KABOOM*
man the NES version was WAY better!!

I remember back in the NES heyday when Contra was all the rage on that console. What I always found interesting is just how few people knew that there even WAS a Contra arcade machine (or rather, that the NES game was a port of an arcade title)...most people thought it was a stand-alone game, made for the NES.
Both have their merits but the arcade version is just too bloody short. But then, it only costs 25 cents to play and NES games were...50 bucks? So I would expect longer levels. =)
