Contra: Hard Corps - Mega Drive Gameplay - Story Mode - 720P
4Gameplay footage of Contra: Hard Corps for the Sega Mega Drive.
This version is a hacked NTSC edition and brings back in the 3 Life Bar meter which is present in the Japanese release of the game which was oddly REMOVED for the NTSC/PAL editions.
Contra: Hard Corps is a rather odd game in that it was changed quite a fair bit upon release for rather strange reasons....
In japan the game was released as Contra: Hard Corps. In that game you had several continues and a 3 hit life bar.
The NTSC edition of the game (American release) removed the life bar meaning 1 hit and you died. This was BELIVED to have been done as a means of screwing customers over if they rented the game - IE making the game about as hard as chewing on broken glass without cutting your gums hard. This way with the difficulty ramped up and 1 hit = death it means your going to need to rent it out several times in order to complete it.
The PAL/EU release of the game is even stranger because not only did it get censored but it changed the main cast from being 1 robot/2 Humans/Beast Kin to being 4 robots instead. The game would also have a name change from Contra: Hard Corps to PROBOTECTOR.
