Play Contra (Japan) Online – Game Boy (GB) Game

Game Overview

Think you’ve got what it takes to survive a relentless alien onslaught with nothing but a trusty spread gun and quick reflexes? Contra (Japan) for the Game Boy throws you into the heart of the action, packing all the run-and-gun chaos of the arcade classic into a portable format. This isn’t just a watered-down port—it’s a tight, fast-paced challenge that stays true to the series’ roots, with side-scrolling mayhem, epic boss fights, and that infamous Contra difficulty. (Yes, you’ll probably memorize enemy patterns after a few… dozen tries.)

While it lacks the two-player co-op that made the NES version legendary, the Game Boy adaptation makes up for it with its own gritty charm. The monochrome visuals somehow make the jungle bases and alien hives feel even more intense, and the controls are surprisingly smooth for an early handheld title. If you’re craving a dose of pure, old-school adrenaline—or just want to relive the glory days of cramming your Game Boy under the desk during class—Contra delivers. Just remember the code… or don’t. Where’s the fun in that?
