This week's game is Contra for the Nes and Famicom. Contra is a shooting action game for the NES in America and the Famicom in Japan. It was released in February 1988 in America and Japan, and Europe version in 1990 by Konami. It must be noted that Contra is originally an arcade game ported to the NES and Famicom systems, but the home system version is the far more popular version of the game. Contra will probably be on a lot of gamers' minds as one of their favorite games.
In this game, you control one of the two commandos, Bill "Mad Dog" Rizer for the player one and Lance "Scorpion" Bean for the player two, who are sent to destroy the evil terrorist organization Red Falcon Organization. The players must guide the commandos through levels, shooting everything in the way. At the end of the level, the players must confront the stage boss and defeat it to go to the next stage.
