Contra (NES Game)


This game is a true classic. For most people, this is the first place you learned about the Konami Code. If entered before the title screen loads, you can start with 30 lives. Contra is one of the best platform shooters of all-time. This game should be owned by every person who owns an NES. End of story.

So what is it about Contra that's so great? Well, it has fantastic music, fluid level design, clean graphics, great powerups, interesting bosses, simple gameplay, endless replayability, a high nostalgia factor, challenging yet not impossible levels, great two-player co-op mode, and one of the best opening title screens on the NES. Other than that it doesn't have much going for it.
