🎮 Let's Play Contra: The Adventure (PS1) – Possibly the Worst Contra Game Ever Made? 👾

Welcome to another retro gaming deep dive! Today, we're tackling Contra: The Adventure (also known as C: The Contra Adventure) for the Sony PlayStation — a title often considered the black sheep of the legendary Contra franchise. Released in 1998 by Konami, this game took a very different approach from the fast-paced, side-scrolling action we all know and love. But... was that a good thing?

👉 In this video, we’ll:

Play through key stages of Contra: The Adventure

Examine the awkward 3D transitions and strange level design

Break down what went wrong with this entry in the Contra series

Share fun facts and commentary on the game’s development

Decide if it really is the worst Contra game ever made!

🔥 What Makes This Contra Game So Infamous?
Unlike classics like Contra III: The Alien Wars or Contra: Hard Corps, Contra: The Adventure blends awkward 2.5D and 3D perspectives, lacks tight controls, and strays far from the franchise’s roots. It was exclusive to North America and never released in Japan — a red flag for many fans.
