Description
"In 1957 a large object from outer space crashed into Earth's Amazon basin, near ruins of the lost Mayan civilization. Scientists world-wide heralded the incident as a trivial cosmic occurrence, and thus the collision was soon forgotten. "

"Now, thirty years later, rumors of an evil force have swept into the Pentagon's front office, and tales from frightened villagers of a hideous being with an army of alien henchmen are sending chills down the spines of top military brass."

"Unwilling to upset current political stability, an all-out assault on the region has been overruled, and instead, two of America's most cunning, courageous and ruthless soldiers from the Special Forces elite commando squad have been selected to seek out and destroy these alien intruders. "

"Congratulations, pal, you're one of the chosen. But before you take pride in being the best, be warned. You're about to come face to face against Red Falcon, the cruelest life-form in the galaxy. He arrived on Earth thirty years ago (that's six months time in an alien's life) to establish a foothold from which he will attempt to conquer our world and then use it as a stepping stone toward his ultimate fiendish goal: domination of the entire universe. "

"Needless to say, playing hero won't be easy. But you have no choice -- you must be a hero. Because if you fail, life as we know it will cease to exist, and the vile Red Falcon will rule forever. If you succeed, well...it doesn't matter, because I doubt you will."

A conversion of the arcade game, Contra is a classic side scrolling platformer. The game is considered to have improved on platformers by including such concepts as directional shooting and climbing.

Reason enough to get an NES!!, 30 Apr 2007
by Frank Lanford

Last year when I decided to rebuy the NES, the first game that I purchased was Contra. I remembered the fun I used to have as a little kid in this game, even though I was lucky if I could even get to level 3 at the time without the Konami code. Well, finding a good deal on it off the internet, I quickly bought it, and I must say that no matter what age you are, this game is great! Out all of the Konami series, I may actually like Contra the best! Frank
