Play Final Mission (Japan) [En by Stardust Crusaders v1.0] Online
Blast through tight corridors swapping between spread shots and lasers to take down screen-filling bosses—it’s like Contra got a weird, punishing upgrade. That 2AM "one more try" energy hits hard when robots keep divebombing from off-screen.
Final Mission is one of those NES games that feels like it should’ve been way more famous. It’s basically Contra’s slightly weirder cousin—you’re blasting through robot armies with this chunky, satisfying gun that lets you swap between three firing modes. The spread shot’s my go-to, but sometimes you’ve gotta switch to the laser when some armored freak shows up.
The levels throw these claustrophobic corridors at you, packed with enemies that love to divebomb from off-screen. And the bosses? Huge, screen-filling machines that take forever to kill unless you memorize their patterns. It’s brutal, but in that way where you keep muttering “one more try” at 2 AM.
Shoutout to the fan translators for making the Japanese version playable in English—otherwise we’d have missed out on this gem. If you’ve got a soft spot for NES-era run-and-guns that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a blast.
