Play Gryzor [T-Eng1.0] Online

Konami released Gryzor for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987, a game many players in Europe and other regions knew as Contra. It arrived during a period when the NES library was rapidly expanding with action-heavy titles, offering a direct and challenging alternative to more exploratory platformers or slower-paced adventures.

You control a lone commando fighting through alien-infested jungles and military bases, shooting everything that moves. The main objective is simple: survive eight stages of relentless enemy assaults, dodging bullets and taking down bosses. Signature mechanics include picking up power-up capsules that change your weapon, from the rapid Spread Gun to the penetrating Laser, and the occasional use of vehicles like a jeep with mounted guns. The pacing is frantic, the difficulty steep, especially without the famous Konami code for extra lives. It feels like a constant, tense battle against overwhelming odds where every mistake costs you.
