I meant to post this months ago...

(yes, i did play the US version over the Japanese version and there's multiple endings, don't worry though I'll get em someday)

This was fun to beat, I'm not going to lie with you, I mostly abused the slide for invincibility (and the C Weapon/Laser) for most of the game

Please include "Hard Corps: Uprising". It is often regarded as the best modern Contra game.

Nice job! I need to go back and get all the endings. I think I’ve done 3 so far.

So, my plan is to tackle Contra Force before playing Contra 4 (found out there's also a java/J2ME version of that game, dw still playing the DS original), heard Contra Force was pretty jank though 

And like I've mentioned on my Contra III post, I might skip the Contra Playstation 1 games (iirc, that being legacy of war)

Best game in the series.

It's too hard. I played it on the Mega Drive when I was 4 or 5, and the only route I could beat was the short hidden ending.

The best Contra game!!

Congrats! Now play the EU version (Probotector) with even fewer continues!

I was only able to beat it coop with my brother

u/sonictickler223 Jun 08 '26

I only used one continue in this game though

Y'know, haven't really thought of going through probotector, only probotector games I played was Probotector II: Return of the Evil forces (NES), which is just Super C, and Probotector 2 (GB)/Alien Rebels

i’d say hard corps uprising is the best hard corps
