Contra III: The Alien Wars (Super Nintendo, 1992)

Contra 3 is a great platform/action game, and is probably the best in the series. In addition to the standard machine gun, you can also use additional weapons such as lasers, spreaders, and homing missiles; all of which are very fun to use. Contra has challenging yet fun levels and bosses. Contra is played from a side perspective as well as a top down perspective which adds a lot of variety to the game. Overall, Contra III is an excellent action game for the Super Nintendo and I would highly recommend it.

Pros:
- Fun classic shooting game
- Tons of power-ups and weapons
- Two different modes of gameplay

Cons:
- May be too difficult for some people

Wow....Contra III This Game is probably the best in the series.There are 6 levels 4 side scrolling and 2 overhead view.Two player mode as always,All of the original weapons like the SPREAD gun!The replay value is very high as well.The only thing is that you can't use the good old Konami code for 30 lives you have to play with 7 lives max,unless of course you have the Game Genie. It is a must have for any Super Nintendo fan!

Probably the best contra game in the series. A defining shooter game that takes the player through many awesome levels and gives the player a challenge with great rewards. Awesome game to say the least.

This is, quite possibly, one of the best games on the SNES. It is very fast paced, you have multiple weapons, constant bombardment of enemies and varying difficulties. You can play on the easy mode as a beginner (where it can still be challenging), or on the hard difficulty, which challenges even the toughest of players. All in all, it's a must have for any SNES fan. To me, you aren't a true gamer unless you've played contra once through.

thank you or the super nintendo game i bought from you.( contra 3 ) it is so fun to play. thanks for the quick replies to my questions, and for the quick service. you are a true ebay member.

This is the third installment into the Contra series, and it is the best one. It has a relentless swarm of attackers with bullets coming from all directions, but with amazing gameplay, good graphics, and gun upgrades that look and feel cool using, it keeps you coming back for more.

On the one person version of this game the difficulty is very high, however it is with the two player option that this game truly shines. Find a friend and enjoy one of the best shooters the SNES has to offer and play this game as soon as possible!

Highly Recommended!

its a good game an it plays just fine i got it fast with in 2 weeks which was cool so thanks alot cuz im done typing

I love this game its one of my favorite games for the super ninetendo, brings back a lot of childhood memories. It fun and easy to play by yourself or with a friend.Its very well made and you wont get bored of it at all.

I do agree that this game is pretty difficult. But the challenge factor is the center part of the game.

This game takes the previous two Contra games to new 16-bit levels with new weapons. My personal favorite is the homing missile which tops out the spread gun on the previous two games. But that's all balanced out by loads of enemy fire and more enemies on screen than the previous two games.

The difference is that because the game is hard, you automatically start off with the machine gun, unlike the pistol in the previous two games. You also have new weapons like the homing device which actually is far more useful than the ever-popular spreader in the last two games.

Other than that, you get the favorite 2-player co-op that you get in the previous two games, along with the difficulty setting. However, you don't get the true ending until you beat the game on "hard" mode.

I think it's one of those classic games that you should re-buy should you sold this or gave it away when you were moving on to your N64, but are now going retro. However, I think you should get this game if you haven't played it before, but you decided to go retro on your gaming style. This is the game that was not only great back in 1992, but has aged well, and I believe it's selling well on the Wii virtual console.

If you want to take a trip back to the past, why not do it with a classic like Contra 3. With super weapons and awesome levels and music, this game is sure to recall memories of playing this classic game over a decade ago.

What I like about contra is that it is a reaaly good game I have looked other places to get it and could not find it any where and i love shopping on ebay i find things on here that i cant find in stores and the prices are great on ebay

The best Contra game ever. Classic Contra action doesn't get any better than this! A great game to add to your Super Nintendo collection!

This is by far, one of the best games ever made. The fun factor is huge. The most special part about this game is that it's nothing special at all. It's just plain old fashion fun. Get guns, blow stuff up and move on. The best review for this game is written by a guy named maddox. Search for him on google and find the review. The game is everything he says it is. Trust me. BUY THIS GAME!!!

It's been awhile since I've played any of the Contra games but I enjoyed all of them. I'm a 26-year-old man who grew up with NES and SNES and miss all the great games for both systems. These next-generation gaming systems are just too highly advanced for me even though I did buy a PS3 because it has a powerful blu-ray player. And also the Nintendo Wii in which I really don't care about because it's cheap and hard to get. Plus I'm not spending the night at some retail store unlike some people in this world because I have a life.

game is mint awsome gameplay thanks for lettin me buy. i wish you had more choices i liked, i'll def. keep watching

I decided to buy it as a collectable.
I'm fond of this game, and the packaging is really nice.

Contra III: The Alien Wars, released in Japan as Contra Spirits and in the PAL region as Super Probotector: Alien Rebels, is a 1992 run and gun game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System produced by Konami. It is the third console iteration of the Contra series, following the original Contra and Super C for the NES. The game's tentative title in North America was Super Contra IV (due to the fact that Contra Force was originally scheduled to be released first).

Contra III is a very entertaining and action packed game from start to finish. The game has great visuals and very mean, nasty looking bosses. Just make sure to pick up a pack of cigs beforehand, you'll need em!

good game, excellent ebay. got item in record time and everyone should buy from this seller. he's the best.
