insane action on a 8-bit system

User Rating: 8.5 | Contra NES
contra is one of the best action games on the nes because of its great action , challange, great co-op and solid controls .

theres some kind of alien on an island that needs to be killed and you gotta shoot your way through thousands of soldiers,aliens turrets,... luckely there are lots of power ups to kick some *** like the spreader wich shoots bullets in every directing to kill enemies high and low but if you got hit just one time you lose your current power up and lose a life but the good thing is that you'll respawn at the same place where you died to keep the action moving and to get a fast pased action game .

that game aint that long, only 8 stages but its really hard and there are no passwords so if you lost al your lifes and continues you gotta start all over again so it can take a while till you finished the game because its so challanging . the best way to play it is whit co-op , just like games like chip n dale resque rangers and river city ransom , you can play whit 2 players on a single screen and that makes the game a bit easyer and more fun .

this game just rocks if your looking for a great action game you cant go wrong whit contra , even today its still a blast to play .
