An Old-School Review
This game was one of the best 8-bit, 1 or 2 player, run-and-gun games on the NES. I remember playing it over and over again by myself, with my brother, or with friends, and the countless fights I would get into for stea... Read Full Review

This is the #1 game of 1987!
Psych! If you read Sonic CD review, this is not my last review of the day. Contra is a shooter game with a guy with a red bandana that looks like Rambo. The other guy is a yellow square haired guy who looks like Ahnol... Read Full Review

Killing aliens in the jungle with your best friend was never so much fun.
My favorite game for the NES and one of my all time favorites. I still play the game to this day. Game play is fast paced. Unlimited ammo lets you shoot non stop. Just point towards the bad guys and let 'er rip. Weapon u... Read Full Review

Contra is a fun, action-packed shooter that is a great nostalgic game, as well as addicting to get good at.
Gameplay: The gameplay is like most, if not all, Contras, in which you are a guy with a gun and you shoot as you scroll either 2D side-ways or up (in the tunnel levels, anyway) as you shoot enemies and avoid bullets. Thi... Read Full Review

A decent emulation that just isn't packaged properly.
I've read the review and was curious to see how mine will compare to others. GS got it right that everyone really wanted the NES version of the game. Now that we've all aged significantly since the game first came out,... Read Full Review

Classic 2D Action
I had never played contra before, so this $5 download was definitely worth it to me. The game is quite a lot of fun, and demands both quick reflexes and a good memory so you know all the safe places to stand etc. ... Read Full Review
