Arcade Longplay [209] Contra

http://www.longplays.org

Played by: Tsunao

The game that started it all.

Basic plot of Contra games:
Men (sometimes buff and shirtless) or women (Hard Corps and Uprising comes to mind) fight aliens. Frontflips are involved.
"They sure blew up good."
-Contra 4

Surprisingly, this game only has one shirtless character (Player 2)

No skills. Did had a replay with me using Laser on the last stage, but it desynced. -_- Spread Gun, as usual, wrecks the game and difficulty (still doesn't stop the game from being hard.) On the subject of difficulty: played on Normal. (should've put it on Hardest because real players play Contra on Hard. No exceptions.)

I honestly prefer the nes version more. i played both. this one was, using the term loosely, easier than the one i grew up knowing, but maybe it was because i was likw 6 when i played the original and i was 28 when i played this one. idk

It's short, because it's an arcade game. If it was long, you probably wouldn't have enough time to beat it before something you or your parents have scheduled arrives.

I Always Thought the Arcade version of this game seemed rushed...May have had more time to develop the NES version

The most badass start to any game, period. You start, and ONE second later you are being bombarded with action!
