Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A, Select, Start.
That was the sequence every games at taht time had to know. It was the secret code to get 30 lives instead of the usual 3 at the beginning of the game. Another buddy game, Contra has the gamer in the role of commandos fighting an alien monster that has crash landed on earth. You can choose from either a Rambo or a Schwarzeneger look alike.
Forget the hammy plot. The pint of this game are the guns, and of course, the endless wave of bad guys. Your arsenal consist of the regular machine gun, flame gun, the split shot and the laser. They're not all available at the same time of course since you discover them as you go along. Contra features a screen that constantly scrolls and super tough bosses. your partner better not lag behind or he'll die. Even though you can get 30 lives, you'll end up using them pretty fast especially during boss battle.
