Title: Wherein I Gloat.
Post by: Medeo on October 22, 2009, 04:36:18 AM
I have just beaten Contra III: The Alien Wars on Hard difficulty for the first time.

The end screen certifies that my "heroic deeds have restored peace to a war torn world."

No need to thank me.

I, for one, am impressed. I always sucked at Contra. And also Metal Slug.

tried multiple times on 2 player mode...

even with GameGenie with infinite lives, it was a drag to go thru it.

I'm posting here, ain't I? So I figure that's a bit of a foregone conclusion.

I did that once. Srsly.

Hard fucking game... I used to tape down my controller on the third stage boss (I think, anyway its the ship/plane or whatever that drops bombs/dudes down at you) and leave, just to get extra lives for it.

Anyway, congratulations.

that game is super fucking hard

I can beat Contra I and II without dying, but can't even scratch #III on hard mode.

No no - we are in your debt. How could we have won the Alien Wars without the elite backflipping skills of Scorpion and Madd Dogg? I can only imagine the state of America if Red Falcon had succeeded

I like the noise those mosquito things on stage 2 make when you shoot them.

I beat the original Contra several times, waaay back in the day, but only by using the ^^vv<><>BA[select][start] cheat code.

The original Contra was the bain of my young-gamer existence.  That and Castlevania: Simon's Quest.

"Bain"?  Is that some obscure pun?

I just remembered something.... I used to play video games.

What was that last one I played?   Oh, yeah! Diablo II.

Do they still even make video games?
