now let me just say one thing about this game yes its hard yes its difficult but
and heres the things it is one of my favreite clasic game music is ok sound ok
but what many gamers want to know is the story now im not bringing the 2nd game
in but come on the story dosent make sense i think acording to the web you fight
aliens after you beat the first level but to get really far you need to have 7 hours
to waste but its decent and has replay value but its so hard!!! you play as this dude
you run around shooting down billions of rapid firing manics who want you dead plus
you got things that try to block your path on top of that bullets flying everywhere one
there there and there come on really its all over the screen once you beat the boss you
deserve a medal go have a coke or something. now you get lives ok.... 3 actually to beat
80 levels or more of more and more you may think imposible but no...you enter a code
whitch many gamers found in nintendo power... yes the best mag in the world fun epic and
american i myself am not but i found this whille searching online and i read i few not bad,
dowload some if you can back to the game. addictiveness 9 very very very adictive that is
why i said you need a lot of sparetime..............................

This game is one of the first challenging games ever made I believe and it is pretty addicting as well, I like playing this. Good game, and good job reviewing it.

Ahh yes... the game that makes me frustrated from the very start. Contra will be one of the difficult games on the NES. It took me a while to beat this game, so I used the thirty lives code, but doesn't work on beating this game for me. The challenges of dodging bullets and bombs coming from behind trees is part of my frustration while the other is trying to mash the attack button. But with patience and focus, I can do it. Anyway, I like your review and keep up the good work!
