The Vintage: Contra


Back in the 80's this title was our MW3 (it's quite far from it considering that is a third person shooter and had very crappy graphics, but I compare them for you to have some idea of what it is like).

Konami released it in 1987.

The player controls one of the two commandos named Bill and Lance, who were sent to a mission against a terrorist group called the Red Falcon Organization like as usual in the old days was planning to take the world, I also have to mention that some terrorists look like aliens O.0

You, as the main character, were equipped with a rifle with an endless amount of ammo but you also have the possibility to be armed with more lethal weapons if you catch some power balls across your path but the truth was that it was kind of difficult to keep the new weapon because it only requierd a single enemy hit to loose it. You were able to shoot every direction you want as well as jump or move simultaneously while shooting.

It was a very challenging but funny game to play, try it yourself.



Later, GASA
