NES Contra

Watch Part 2


When people think of hard NES games, this is probably one of the first names to come to mind. But this game actually isn't as hard as it seems. The first couple of times I tried to beat it, I did abysmally, but within a few days I was able to do this run of the game.

So for anyone who wants to beat Contra, try it with the Konami code the first couple times. You'd be amazed how much easier it gets with a bit of practice!

Here I've listed a handful of games I've considered doing runs for. If you have a particular preference for one of these games, you can vote for it here. There's no guarantee that a game that gets a lot of votes would get done right away, but it might influence me when picking the next game to do.

Should I switch to using Youtube?

My Photo
I'm just a guy who plays far too many video games. I own an Intellivision, NES, SNES, N64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Dreamcast, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, DS, and PSP, as well as far more games than I could count.

I started doing these game runs both as a way to show off and to challenge myself. Mostly the former, though.
