I have a LOT of fond memories of this game! Even my parents (who have NO interest in video games whatsoever) liked this game to a point. I guess that point was when I would beat it and then play through it all over again! It's THAT good, people! Contra is one of only a hand full of games I can play over and over and not get sick of (The other being FFVII.) My favorite levels were the Base levels. You had to blow up those flashing sensors on the back wall while trying to avoid enemy fire, and if you pressed up on the control pad, your character would get a SERIOUS shock from the high voltage fence! The sensors THEMSELVES would start firing at you if you defeated all the enemies in any area in Base2 (I found that out the hard way.) It makes blowing them up a LOT more challenging, THAT'S for sure! The music for its time was very good and kept you "motivated" throughout the game. The only two places where the music is the same is 'the jungle' stage 1 and 'the hangar' stage 7. Other then those MINOR gripes, the game rocks on all levels. Especially the "fun factor" department! I feel very fortunate to have this game in my possession again. Especially after so many years of inactivity.

The game came to me ahead of schedule and was wrapped incredibly well. Game worked great (with the old nes q tip method) and box was in great shape considering it’s age. Received a nice hand written note inside along with being professionaly wrapped (to my eyes ). Again game worked great using the rubbing alcohol trick I use on the rest of my nes collection. Would by again.

Yes!!!!! I love Contra and I believe all Contra fans can remember the famous code up up down down left right left right ba to get 30 lives, WITHOUT the help from google. This game arrived quickly and played on the first insert into my NES system; no blowing required. We had a blast introducing our children to the games of our youth and even though they say the graphics are " not cool" they love playing it. Sometimes it's just about getting back to the simpler ways of doing things. And yes, my husband and I still try to make the characters jump by "jumping with the controller." You know you did this too. LOL. BTW, have not gotten very far into the game yet, even with 30 lives. But hey, it's been many many many years since playing. So glad I could find this game.
The media could not be loaded.

I bought a Nintendo Wii over a year ago under the mistaken assumption that I could download the original Contra on it. I was sadly mistaken. I downloaded Super C (aka Super Contra), but still longed for the original.
I then decided to buy the old cartridge version of this game and play it again for the first time in over 20 years, and I must say, the magic is still there. This is easily within the top 10 greatest video games of all time.
As to the claims of the seller, all were correct. The game was used, not in its original package (as I knew when I placed the order), but played perfectly. That was the main thing I was after anyway.
The spread shot still mops up the competition, and I no longer need the "U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, B, A, Start" code to beat the game.

I played this game when I was a kid and it took me some time to get used to playing it again, but I really enjoyed it. I didn't get as far as I would have liked. Usually I would play two players but I couldn't get my Dad to play it with me. You can usually get farther in the game with two players. It brought back a lot of memories.

I had a little trouble getting the game to connect with the Nintendo system. This is nothing new with the old games though. Sometimes they have to be placed just right or tilted to just the right angle in order to get game play. Once I got it to load, the game worked perfectly. Thank you.

This is my favorite Contra game. It is awesome. There is a cheat code for 30 lives I would recommend for your first time playing through (up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,b,a,start) it is hard,but with practice you can beat it without cheating. definitely worth the money.

Forgot how fun these retro's were from Konami, also dont remember them being this tough. Goes to show how easy the newer games are and how the abilities have changed with the save options. Truly a classic, and a must own for those from the 80's. The game came sooner than expected and in great condition from Vindawg (seller) as always.
