Product Description

THIS IS THE NES NINTENDO VIDEO GAME VERSION. ALL-TIME CLASSIC The original arcade version of Super Contra played essentially the same as its forebearer. The main difference was in its versatility. While the original "Contra" had three versions of gameplay (side-scrolling, up-scrolling, and pseudo-first-person), Super Contra added a top-view perspective as well as improving the scrolling levels by including inclined surfaces. As a result of this and changes to the enemy forces, it was a more difficult game to master. A quirk that it shared with the original Contra was the usefulness of the "Spread" gun. This gun made advancing through the levels much easier. It was a common occurrence that players reset the game if they lost this weapon, even though they were at a high level in the game. To beat the game required much more skill and experience than in the original.

Really Want to Test How Good a Gamer You Are?
Then you need to pick up Super C, because of all the Contra games, I still find this to be the hardest of the lot. However, Super C is a game where you can't wimp out. Much like the first Contra, it takes practice to learn. However, as far as advancing the series goes, Super C does it in the way a game ought to do it. It keeps the same basic gameplay, but it throws in new enemies, harder levels and different level designs. Simply put, mastering the first Contra doesn't give you an edge in Super C.

There are eight levels in the game, and it works exactly as the first Contra did in this respect. You will go through, running and gunning through tons of enemies. You'll find many weapons for you to use. They all come from the previous Contra game. You'll find a machine gun, flame thrower (there are two types this time), laser and the Spread Gun. Again, as any Contra veteran can tell you, the Spread Gun is perhaps the best weapon you could hope to get. Strong, and can hit just about anything.

What makes Super C much harder than the first Contra game is simply that there is more stuff that comes at you. More enemies, and more gun shots to avoid. Combine that with the fact that the Classic Konami code DOES NOT work with this game. One hit, you're dead, and you've only got two lives to start with. You earn more by scoring lots of points, but with bosses that are much more difficult in scope and enemies that take a lot more time to predict, Super C will have you dying of frustration (perhaps even literally).

Super C does two player co-op exactly as the first one did it. Again, there are few games that do two player co-op better than the Contra series. Super C is no exception.

The music, while not better than the first Contra, is still fantastic. Graphic wise it's also better than the first Contra. It uses the same sprites but the environments are far more detailed. Allowing for more populated levels.

Old school gaming almost doesn't get any better.

The best Contra game
Super C is one of the best(if not the best) Contra games. You play as a commando blasting through stages, collecting all kinds of weapon powerups. The Spreader(S)weapon is always the best. This game is very fun. I can make it through about 3 or 4 levels without losing a life(1 hit kills you).The levels are all very big and they are full of enemies. The best part about this game has got to be the bosses. They were all big and hard(but most of them can be killed easily with the spreader). Overall, this is a fun game that has a good life span. Reccomended!

Super C
The game was the end all be all game for the bloodthirsty child or even adult out there. it had every aspect of a shooter in it, and even exploits that only a true player could find out. it was a good balance of regular contra and their new added things. Despite the fact that area 2 and 4 have now become birds-eyed view levels, it still can compete with the original game when it came to fun and difficulty. Super C is a great game for the adult who wants to relive their childhood, or for the kid who wants to play something "retro" or non 3-d type game
