Super Contra

Released by Konami in 1988 for arcades, this title is the sequel to the worldwide hit action game, Contra. Set one year after the events of the previous game, a new life-or-death battle against a resurrected alien army begins with an opening sequence reminiscent of a motion picture. In addition to the traditional side-scrolling format, this game introduces new top-view stages, with dedicated weapon handling adding depth to the strategy. Featuring five total stages, players must utilize four types of weapons to complete their mission. Please note that certain characteristics unique to this early era of gaming—such as fluctuations in the pitch and speed of the BGM caused by the development environment, as well as specific enemy hit detection—have been preserved exactly as they appeared on the original hardware.

AD 2633. With the mysterious terrorist organization “Red Falcon” emerging once again, Bill Rizer and Lance Bean stand up once more to protect the Earth. As the two Contra soldiers, players infiltrate a military base that has fallen into the clutches of the aliens. To save humanity from the brink of total annihilation, they must overcome overwhelming odds and engage in fierce battle.
