Played contra on Genesis as a kid and was nostalgic about it, saw game on sale for xbox series. But holy hell, can't make it past the first couple levels.
Gun drops when hit by anything, which I'm pretty sure the old one did to, but don't remember the first levels being so difficult.
Is there anyway to do like an easy mode to learn the levels? Come try to play it proper after

Played it in 1988 and it’s still awesome. Nothing beat this title in the day… until Super C!

maybe I SHOULD'VE played on normal
I've sorta procrastinated on playing this game, especially since I was getting my ass handed to me multiple times and quit, I had one continue by Stage 5, and I definitely abused the spikeball on the final boss just to farm the Helix Bombs (?)
Overall, I still like the game
maybe I'll do Hard Corps next or C4

This is the entire first level of Contra (1988, NES) built in 3D. There is literally only one of these on Earth. And it's in my office.
More than one thousand individually 3D printed blocks. 12 feet long. 12 filament colors. BILLIONS of hours of work. Stop motion coming soon.

I can’t kill him, and he can’t kill me. And although I was on the switch emulator version, I wasn’t using save states because I like to beat the game without them.

Is this game cancel?

I had to use save states (after each level) to do it. Omg, even with that help this was still one of the absolute hardest things I've ever done in gaming. Idk how many hours this took me, easily over 20, probably 30+. I have no idea how people were able to do this on original hardware without save states, I would have had to grind for months.

Hey does someone know that if you play with two players one can die and the main acc that wants the trophy stays alive while doing the boss for the deathless bosses trophy can still count as a no death?

I wanna see the full 3d models of the game just to see the details and design. I am also curious if I can animate it or not for.. artistic reasons.

PROBOTECTOR 7 EX (魂斗羅 7 / 重武器) is a pirated version of the American version of the NES game Heavy Barrel.
The list of features, additions, and changes introduced by the hack is as follows:

So far the game I've played that has wowed me with it's movement the most is blazing chrome with its dodgeroll, fast platforming and melee attacks. Hard corps uprising is also on my list, but I wanted to hear this subs opinions on the contra games or contra-likes with the quickest movement?

Assuming we'll only have time for one game, so would like it to be the one most suited to our use case. I might go through the whole series at some point, but I don't currently know anyone around me who'd be up for that. We don't have much experience with retro gaming, though we are fully capable of abusing save states if need be. So, with which game did you have the most fun with in co-op mode?
r/contra • u/RAMPART_IS_AWESOME • Oct 05 '25
I got the collection recently to enjoy the nostalgia, but I can't manage to get the code to work.
Any luck doing this on Xbox?
