Contra is such a well known game that I probably don't need to describe it. So I won't.

But I like it. It's very responsive and has a convenient and well known cheat code that gives you 30 lives, making it playable even by totally rubbish players like me.

This is a request by acksawblack.

"Overlooked Oldies" is a series of let's play videos of retro games that I somehow never played back in the day. Many of them will be suggestions made by subscribers, particularly on binary milestone request videos.

Intro music is from the classic "cracktro" by SCoopex. The full version can be heard and seen here:
