Game Overview

Konami released Contra for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987, a time when side-scrolling action games were becoming a staple of the platform. It stood out immediately for its military theme and relentless pace, offering a sharp contrast to the fantasy and adventure titles that dominated many players' collections.

You control one of two commandos, Bill or Lance, fighting through jungles, alien bases, and waterfalls to stop an extraterrestrial threat. Your main goal is to survive eight stages of non-stop enemy fire, using a standard rifle that can be upgraded by collecting floating power-ups; these include the Spread Gun, which fires in five directions, and the Laser, a concentrated beam that cuts through armor. The game is notoriously difficult, with one-hit deaths and limited continues forcing careful movement and memorization of enemy patterns. It feels tense and demanding, a test of reflexes and patience where every screen demands your full attention.
