Did you know that there are 3 Contra games on the NES? It's Contra, Super C (Super Contra), and.... Contra Force?

Obviously, this one is pretty rare (I can't remember ever seeing it come into the store), and surely there is a reason people rarely bring it up when talking about Contra games --- ahh yes, that's right, because it is bad.

On the surface, it doesn't look bad. When I started it up, I thought it might even be fun - nope! The game chugs in framerate, no Contra code (what the heck), and the levels are TOO long. At least I GOT to the boss of the FIRST LEVEL...

You really can tell if you're going to like a platformer by the first level. We've all been there, especially for the NES - you start the game out and you're instantly either/all of: a) annoyed, b) 'where do I go?', c) constantly dying --- and this game has A and C for sure - at least it's not a 'where do I go?' game. So yeah, in conclusion, I hate this game. There's a reason they called the SNES game 'Contra III" and pretended this one never happened. Thanks for watching!
