  Contra! one of the big classics on Nintendo.
Review created: 06/05/07

The origional Contra was truly one of the great classics of all times. A great 1 or 2 player game where you work with eachother instead of against the other person. Some things are just ment to be a great game like Contra, Tetris, and Mike Tyson's Punch-out! This is one of them.

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link http:
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=5452229

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.
If you want hints/tips about the whole process, I'd be happy to fill you
in.

Please take advantage of this offer!!!

Contra is a great classic game for NES. The game was in great shape and worked the first time i put it in (after blowing in the bottom of the game of course). Not much to dislike about the game except the graphics, but it is the NES what did you expect?! I would recommend it to those who are looking for a fun and challenging shooting game for the old school system

I remember playing this game with a few friends.I remember "The Code".I own an old school NES that I still play.I decided to buy this game because I use to have this game in my own collection of games for the NES,I lost this game and I never found it,so I decided to check out Ebay and what do you know! I found one for a good bargain.This game is truly a treasure.Super C and Contra 3 are cool,but their not as good as the original Contra.This game is totally AWESOME!!!.

Review created: 07/23/08
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Contra is a classic. You cannot beat its fantastic controls and gameplay. Contra is a staple of any classic game player. Its co-op is one of the best muliplayer game experiences ever. The sound, the visuals, and the gameplay make contra an extremely excellent choice for the fan of the action shooter.

  Contra: One of the Greatest Games on the NES
Review created: 06/12/07
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Where do you start on a game like Contra? This game is perfect. One of my all time favorites for the NES. If you haven't played it before, you owe it to yourself to try it. This one is truly a classic. (One of the few things that is embedded into my brain never to be forgotten in the Contra code: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, START). Wow.

  Contra - rare - popular - vintage- NES - Nintendo
Review created: 11/18/06
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The most important factor in rating this game is its over-all rating. When deciding on what Nintendo NES games to buy the past judgment of millions of players has proven this game to be a hit classic that will never lose appeal. The gameplay on Contra is very responsive, which means it will never slow down, even in multiplayer mode. Levels 2 and 4 are the only levels that are strange and unkind being that you are walking into a three dimensional walkway being bombarded by bad guys and drums that knock you down. The game isn't extremely hard but having to start over as your continues end makes it a challenge. All in all, this is one of the best games made for the NES so go pick it up. Dahl4you at Ebay.

Contra has excellent graphics for an NES game. Gameplay is excellent and competes with todays high tech FPSs. I highly recommend getting this game if you own an NES.

  Contra, a boundary pushing NES title.
Review created: 07/08/09

Contra is the beginning of something amazing. The first in a series of epic, difficult, and memorable games that are always inventive and fun. Contra seemed to be one of the very few games that actually got controls RIGHT, with it's creative "shoot in just about every direction" control scheme, you could take on the WAVES upon waves of baddies thrust upon you. Every Contra game is hard, and the first is no exception. So if you're looking for a real challenge, tight controls, and one of the best games ever; look no further than Contra.

  Contra
Review created: 06/05/09

As old as this game is now, it's still better than a lot of games that come out today. It's a simple run-and-gun game where you can shoot in 8 directions. There a lot of power ups available, and you can play through the game in 2 players. The game is very difficult and almost impossible without using the conta code that gives you 30 lives, but it just makes it that much more worthwhile to beat it. Great game, I had a blast playing it!

  Gotta Have NES Classic - Up Up Down Down Left Right...
Review created: 05/12/09
by:

Even if you didn't grow up with the NES or you didn't own Contra you probably heard about the secret infinite lives code - Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B A Select State - on the Control Pad before the opening menu scrolls in. Well, Contra is a game perfect for such a code. The bullets fly fast, and without many extra lives, you may find it pretty difficult to beat the game, but with it, you can sit back and enjoy the ride. Game has two types of stages - a side scrolling and a more "Three-dimensional" stage where your character moves left to right and then forward through some sort of cavernous area. Game is best played with two players. You really must have this game to add to any respectible NES collection.

With extra lives, the game plays quick, but if you're looking for a challenge, don't enter the code. Like most NES games, the storyline isn't anything to write home about (or even understand unless you have the instructions or look online) but you'll pass the time just fine running around and shooting people.
