I never really knew the answer to this question: Is Contra based on the real-life Contra fighting force that liberated Nicaragua?

i must say the rooster teeth let's play was much funnier seriously check it out www.redvsblue.com and go under Achivement Hunter but if you are sensitive to cursing, beware.

I played Contra for around 10 minutes a long time ago. I didn't like it. I recently bought Shoot Many Robots on XBLA, And love it. It isn't the exact same, But the concept is close enough. Maybe my tastes have changed.

Contra is my favorite game. Ever. But the Konami code is amateur hour, guys. Great replay reguardless.

You're Doing It Wrong was great.
by marcjb1890 Saturday, August 04, 2012 at 09:21 AM

Can't wait to watch this. Contra was a game I never played as a kid,. I tried to go back and play it and just couldn't do it.
by Saulius Saturday, August 04, 2012 at 09:26 AM

Every baby can beat contra with code. Try this without it. Just saying.
by Pherostatic Saturday, August 04, 2012 at 09:27 AM

Cool replay, never played Contra myself back in the day, closest thing was this game Journey to Silius. I think I beat that game once finally, but it was probably the hardest game I played as a kid.

Good job Reiner on the doing it wrong play through! Always enjoy watching you guys play through games, and your conversations are generally pretty cool too. Thanks for the Game Informin!

Can't wait for you guys to upload this on your YouTube channel, so I won't have to watch it on this crappy video player.
