I did yet another 'No Death' just two days ago! Why is this game one of the easiest NES games I've ever played? Difficulty-wise, this is right up there with MM2. Super C is harder, for sure. I've only done it once on that one (and cause of Level 6!).
True and every NES Fans like me should remember this..I played this with my classmate in my kindergarten years..he was the one who introduced me to playing video games..and I've been very thankful for him
I can sum this game up in 2 ways, It has the action and intensity of Rambo and the thrill and adrenaline of Die Hard, Contra is truly a masterpiece that I appreciate every second of.
Matthew Drake Contra IS a masterpiece bro. But I would say that Contra is like a combination of Rambo, Alien and Predator. Besides, Bill and Lance are drawn in the likeness of Stallone and Schwarzenegger.
Me and cousin playing this back in '90- Me: "I'm getting the spread gun." Cousin: "No, I want it. You always get the spread gun and leave me with the stupid laser." Me: "Every time you get the spread gun you always die right after and lose it anyway." Cousin: "No I don't!" Me: "Fine, you can have it if it shuts you up." Just as he gets it, he falls into a pit.
I feel sorry that nobody tipped you off to the contra code as a kid...with three continues, at 30 men a pop, that’s 90 lives, which should be more than enough for anyone to get through the game.
i played only once and Havent played since 1988, just finished it within 45 mins. Shocking how short the game is, but boy is it good, challenging yet fair. Lots of memorization in this game to not get hit. Crossed it off the bucketlist, now on to Mike Tyson's Punchout!!!
3 things this game will do to you. 1, Make you a man, 2, give your thumbs a workout, 3, make you watch Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Oh and it may boil your blood, unless you use the konami code, Ok I'm done now
Classic Nintendo game are famous for being first-rate. So with that said, we could learn to make a list of at least 50 greatest all-time video games that have to do with gaming’s biggest company.
25 year ago I used to go across the street and play this with my friend. Thanks for the memories, Contra. Up Up Down Down Left Right Left RIght A B A B Select Start
@@HGSSubStudio Well, technically it's the name of an earth terrorist organization that got their hands on the alien cells and technology but was eventually subdued by the aliens and brainwashed. In the English release, the leader of Red Falcon was identified as such. Due to this, Konami canonically change the name of the alien leader from" Emperor Demon Dragon God Java" to Red Falcon in the English release for sequel titles. Honest Red Falcon sounds better than that other shit.
More classic than Back to the future(the movie of course) this game is one of the best NES games ever made. The difficulty is insane and with two players it just gets double insane. Trying to keep up with each others moves is more challenging than dodge the 1 billion bullets flying around. Very good graphics (especially that "3D" perspective) and music, one of the best games ever made. My rate: 20/20. PS: DO NOT LOSE SPREAD.
I was born in a spanish-speaking country... now, after 28 years I can finaly "consider myself a Hero!"! Never understood what it meant, until now that I've seen the end once again after all this years... By far, this is the best game ever made for the NES console!!
I could spend 10 hrs at the gym and i wouldnt piss as much sweat as I do when playing this game for two mins, a classic. Thank you for my adult anxiety Contra.
Awwwww the Spreader; when you absolutely got to kill every mother in the room and every level , accept no substitutes.That weapon saved my ass plenty of times in the game.
Played this for the first time the other day as someone who never grew up with the NES (it came out way before I was even born) and I can safely say that this has held up really well. Would love to see Bill and Lance join Super Smash Bros. one day.
I guess I must have one of the coolest moms in the world. I was 5-6 years old, when she take me into world of videogames with this Contra!!! Damn, back then she really love this game, and I can't count how many times we play this game together back then. And even today she still love playing videogames with dad...
Why would it? Besides, the "Contra" title itself was deemed controversial back in the day (because Iran-Contra scandal), so the next game was simply called "Super C". And don't even get me started on "Probotector"...
Tengo 45 años y me compre x mercado libre un super nintendo de colección funcionando y ahora juego con mi esposa y se recuerda toda tu infancia y todas las pendejadas....... El lo máximo jugar contra 3 o topyear. Nota :comprate una
This game brings back so many fond memories. And I still remember the code Up Up Dwn Dwn AB AB Select Start. Old School Video Game Head right here. Luv me some Contra.
First time beating it LEGIT today. Last continue with 2 lives left. Took all day with lots of game overs(most coming in the Snow or Hangar) but it's done. Checked off the list. Flamethrower(w/ "R" powerup) got me through half the hangar and all the way to the Alien queen.
W/e I don't care what anyone else says, you played really well. I was so sad when you lost the spread gun, then you got it back near the end and I was like YEAH but then you got killed again. More emotional watching that than I get over a multi-million dollar Hollywood movie.
holy shit i remember playing this as a kid. it seems hard game from watching now but somehow i beat this game everytime easily as a kid? wtf. brings nice memories
This game was the death of me for so long.... but so were all the other near impossible to beat NES games. I swear I would have a nervous breakdown every other day when I couldnt beat a game or level 😂
My older brother and sister STILL remember the Contra trick. lol. Plus, gamers of the 2000s to 2010s wouldn't last 3 seconds with games like this, since they spend 18 hours a day playing Call of Duty on the 360.
I remember watching my dad beat this game all the time when I was a kid. He never used the Konami code, he never knew it but he didn't need it. He would always beat it the Spread Gun. It wasn't until I tried playing this for myself that I knew why he always chose to keep the Spread Gun. You need it.
Pikachu7586 VGCP they are actually 7, but once you have the "S", you don't need the others also if you want to get more lives you just stay a while on an easy part killing those guys and soon you'll get extra lives.
does this guy play this videogame for the super nintendo i cant remember the game but its about a contest of death and the first boss is a big bald dude robot and hes fused with tank wheels can someone tell me
When I was in elementary school, I had a paper route and a responsibility. Right after school, I was supposed to give people their daily news. But I decided 2 player Contra time at a friend's house was more important, and my parents and my paper route customers were really upset with me. So I think we can all agree that I made the right decision saying fuck my job, I'm playing Contra.
My four brothers and two cousins would sit around on Saturday mornings and play this game (and others). Each taking turns to see who could get the highest score.
Ah, Mad Dog and Scorpion. Truly does take me back. Contra and Super C were probably the first two games I owned when I had a Nintendo. The music sounds just as good now as it did then. Thanks for posting classiscs cubex55 and bringing back some fond memories. Do you also have the game "Shadow of the Ninja" listed?
Console games were hard back then mostly because of the limited space they had with the cartridges. They could only fit so much stuff into the games and they didn't want kids to go home and beat the game in less than an hour.

+MikeRoePhonicsMusic Yes, I've been doing 'No Death' thanks to it!
That is soooooo true!!

14 years later, this NES longplay is legendary. 💙

Contra, the greatest game that can be completed in the length of a sitcom episode.
After all these years, still one of my favorite games from the NES and it's still infinitely replayable.
I can sum this game up in 2 ways, It has the action and intensity of Rambo and the
thrill and adrenaline of Die Hard, Contra is truly a masterpiece that I appreciate every
second of.
Matthew Drake Contra IS a masterpiece bro. But I would say that Contra is like a combination of Rambo, Alien and Predator. Besides, Bill and Lance are drawn in the likeness of Stallone and Schwarzenegger.
That's a very good assessment.
Matthew Drake this is a man's game
Oh yeah you got that Right, That's another
great way of putting it!!!!
It's gay
UP UP, DOWN DOWN, LEFT RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT, B A, SELECT START
the father of all cheat codes
Peter Monteleone Never Forget.
then you have player 2 just sitting there...
And get 99 lives.
i still remember that code till this day still do
Me and cousin playing this back in '90-
Me: "I'm getting the spread gun."
Cousin: "No, I want it. You always get the spread gun and leave me with the stupid laser."
Me: "Every time you get the spread gun you always die right after and lose it anyway."

Me: "Fine, you can have it if it shuts you up."
Just as he gets it, he falls into a pit.
Def Blinders I'm sure you were laughing
See 1drugs rafts e3ddd ex-wife
Lmao
*Classic*
Ha ha ah ha!
Contra was about 2 dudes fucking shit up to the max with bad ass weapons!!!!
ikr hahaa
I never beat this game as kid. I finally beat this game at the age of 29 !! Felt so good !!!
I know right.
If only you knew it'd take you 20 years to beat. That'd be discouraging for 9yo you lol
I feel sorry that nobody tipped you off to the contra code as a kid...with three continues, at 30 men a pop, that’s 90 lives, which should be more than enough for anyone to get through the game.
Didn't know about the Komami Code back then?
You should use some cheats .....
i played only once and Havent played since 1988, just finished it within 45 mins. Shocking how short the game is, but boy is it good, challenging yet fair. Lots of memorization in this game to not get hit. Crossed it off the bucketlist, now on to Mike Tyson's Punchout!!!
Thank you WorldofLongplays for reviving my childhood memories! :D Keep up the great work!
This was MY Call of Duty back in the day.
Tawk Sick And it is still better than Call of Duty. Such a crazy intense game! One hit and dead. Dodging all those bullets. Great shit!
Please don't compare this awesome game to the piece of crap that is Call of Duty.
3 things this game will do to you. 1, Make you a man, 2, give your thumbs a workout, 3, make you watch Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Oh and it may boil your blood, unless you use the konami code, Ok I'm done now
For real!
Best NES game ever made.

And one of the hardest. The anniversary collection eases the pain with it's quick save feature.

Chill down, buddy, no it ain't.
I honestly think Super C is better

Yes I remember that!! Never have forgot that actually! That's so funny lol..
"Red Falcon"?!?
It was a giant freaking testicle.
It looks more like a heart
Jinzo Clash the alien looks like a dick also
Red Falcon is not a character name, it's a name of the alien organization.
@@HGSSubStudio Well, technically it's the name of an earth terrorist organization that got their hands on the alien cells and technology but was eventually subdued by the aliens and brainwashed. In the English release, the leader of Red Falcon was identified as such.

@@TheMissingLink2 They called that thing a 'god' but didn't decide to make it harder in difficulty at all.
More classic than Back to the future(the movie of course) this game is one of the best NES games ever made.
The difficulty is insane and with two players it just gets double insane. Trying to keep up with each others moves is more challenging than dodge the 1 billion bullets flying around.

My rate:
20/20.
PS: DO NOT LOSE SPREAD.
I stayed up for HOURS, this was the shit back in da day!!!
I remember playing this game in my childhood.
I remember breaking my brother's NES Controller and got grounded for a week
lol why or how did you break it? Was it from the rage quit?
You deserved far worse.
I was born in a spanish-speaking country... now, after 28 years I can finaly "consider myself a Hero!"! Never understood what it meant, until now that I've seen the end once again after all this years... By far, this is the best game ever made for the NES console!!
Cuantos años han pasado y sigue igual de bueno el videojuego como cuando lo jugaba de niño.
I loved this game, but it is hard as hell.... Love that bad ass soundtrack :D
when i was 11 years old that opening scene gave me chills. hit start button and here we go!! great memories
I never imagined this game would be this short if you never die as everybody do
I could spend 10 hrs at the gym and i wouldnt piss as much sweat as I do when playing this game for two mins, a classic. Thank you for my adult anxiety Contra.
Awwwww the Spreader; when you absolutely got to kill every mother in the room and every level , accept no substitutes.That weapon saved my ass plenty of times in the game.
As long you didn't take a hit..and you were VERY lucky if you didn't..
Oh now I GOTTA go watch Jacky Brown!!
Ah the memories, the most adrenaline filled video-game there was.
Bada Bing Bada Boom I think that would be Contra III: The Alien Wars on Hard Mode.
@@Celestial07contra alien wars for the gameboy was also good
still to this day, contra has the perfect side shooter with the best controls hands down, forever a classic
this LP is more interesting than most. Instead of "one guy showing off how boss he is." it was "one guy playing really well then he fucked up."
An NES classic. I wasn’t around to experience it, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.
Played this for the first time the other day as someone who never grew up with the NES (it came out way before I was even born) and I can safely say that this has held up really well. Would love to see Bill and Lance join Super Smash Bros. one day.
Best game in all time.
I guess I must have one of the coolest moms in the world. I was 5-6 years old, when she take me into world of videogames with this Contra!!! Damn, back then she really love this game, and I can't count how many times we play this game together back then. And even today she still love playing videogames with dad...

Hehe, Probotector.
You need to be PUNnished for that.
Mi hijo mayor hoy tiene 32 años y jugaba este juego con él y con su hermano cuando eran pequeños, vimos el video y nos llenó de hermosos recuerdos!
my first videogame
Ouch, a game this difficult was your first...
+Ragnar Ahlman Lol this game is not that that difficult I finished it as a 6yo along with my 8yo cousin.
You want really difficult? Try Battletoads.
It came in may be 1989 and i was die hard habitual of this game at that time
@@vladdx I agree it wasn't hard. I think it was the first game I beat on my own, without cheats or any help.
@World of Longplays thank you for uploading Contra!!! 🤗🙏💕 This is one of my favourite games on NES. Keep up the amazing job!
Love this game! Still grinding for that deathless though. Maybe one day! Cheers and cool video.
Playing 2 player if I remember correctly was the epic part of this game... Couldn't you play at the same time ? Man it's been so long.... memories...
Exactly, this is real skill showcased at it's best! The way it NEEDS to be done! Well Played!
just played japanese version 2 years ago, it contain story, map and some animation.
@@ramosluis4075 You just exhumed a 12-year old comment to reply to it. I applaud your bravery!
If you get the laser, just reset the game.

Que buenos recuerdos, Contra :'v
This took me back.....great memories
how can there not be a longplay of contra?
This game brings back so many fond memories. And I still remember the code Up Up Dwn Dwn AB AB Select Start. Old School Video Game Head right here. Luv me some Contra.
The start of the series
You guys are friggin' wizards! I've seen many of your videos, and guys, you are pros!
que buen juego fue parte de mi infancia XD
Thanks for uploading. I've forgotten this game.
Well played :) This game is epic.
Ralei pra caramba, mas conseguir fechar Contra do Nes sem morrer vida , adoro essa franquia , top de mais !
First time beating it LEGIT today. Last continue with 2 lives left. Took all day with lots of game overs(most coming in the Snow or Hangar) but it's done. Checked off the list. Flamethrower(w/ "R" powerup) got me through half the hangar and all the way to the Alien queen.
For those who didn't know,*R* is rapid fire. It makes your bullet go faster.
I though it was rifle at first time though.
nice creativity by konami and of course well played by Ravenlord . Thanks Ravenlord for showing me the all stages , it reminds me my childhood days .
There was a list of games. Each of them was in green color letters. Where do u find that list????
62 fans of Call of Duty disliked this video.
I laik the cod and contra
Epic soundtrack!
Energy zone (stage 6) 🤩
W/e I don't care what anyone else says, you played really well. I was so sad when you lost the spread gun, then you got it back near the end and I was like YEAH but then you got killed again. More emotional watching that than I get over a multi-million dollar Hollywood movie.
Contra the best game ever.
People use the code because they cant time things right
holy shit i remember playing this as a kid. it seems hard game from watching now but somehow i beat this game everytime easily as a kid? wtf. brings nice memories
Dios mío la que juega ahí es una verdadera gamer ella paso todos los niveles yo no pase el 3 todavía D:
Recuerdos legendarios de la nes 😎
Tienes razón amigo
This game was the death of me for so long.... but so were all the other near impossible to beat NES games. I swear I would have a nervous breakdown every other day when I couldnt beat a game or level 😂
Wasn't there a way to get unlimited lives? On the controller: Up,up,down,down,left,right,left right,B,A, then hit start. Was that the formula?
i think it was the hack version
30 lives, and it's called *The Konami Code.* You kids these days, I swear...
the code of life the most famous cheat code of all time
@@turbohusque Bruh

There goes my childhood
There are divers in the waterfall?! Thats bad ass! The Music in Contra is so awesome!

The best Contra game! ;3
I am glad they made this video now I don't have to worry about beating the game I can just watch it here...
8/10
Pros: Challenging, Cool Music, Still Hard with 30 life code
Cons: Just too challenging to beat, Only 6 power-ups
True but there could have been more
Pikachu7586 VGCP they are actually 7, but once you have the "S", you don't need the others
also if you want to get more lives you just stay a while on an easy part killing those guys and soon you'll get extra lives.
Daniel Hunter But F sucks balls
Daniel Hunter I was talking this game though because F is definitely shit in this game and Lazer ain't much better.
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start = 30 lives. Can't believe I still remember that cheat code at my age.
The first time I played stage 8 I thought the big red mouth was the final boss!
I love the arcade style "high score" that resets every time you turn it off lol
The energy zone absolutely anihilated you.
this was the first game I ever played and its the first NES longplay, wow
does this guy play this videogame for the super nintendo i cant remember the game but its about a contest of death and the first boss is a big bald dude robot and hes fused with tank wheels can someone tell me
Run. Shoot monster. Somersault jump. Repeat.
if you could pleas watch contra on my channel
And that's how you make one of the best games ever made
Those summer vacations, That time.
Good old days..

this guy forgot to use the konami kode
xj0462 - he didn't need it.
I'd say Contra is perfect for a first NES longplay.
Brings back good memories
this game is only 23 mins long?
when you only use the spread gun yeah
Games used to be short because they were based on the Arcade model. Everything changed once Zelda arrived. :)
Super Mario Bros. 3 only lasted around 2 hours, yet the GBA version has a 94 on Metacritic
Console games were hard back then mostly because of the limited space they had with the cartridges. They could only fit so much stuff into the games and they didn't want kids to go home and beat the game in less than an hour.
R.I.P whoever invented the Konami code.
When people tell me Dark Souls is the hardest game ever, i direct them to this, Battletoads, Galaga, and Doom Plutonia Experiment.
