Retro Game of the day! Contra

www.thealmightyguru.com
Hello again MatsterChief once again today I am going to do something a little different and that is a retro game flashback! Many of you might not have grown up playing the old school Nintendo and I am not refereeing to the Nintendo 64 but like the very first Nintendo console.


For me when growing up the game I played the most had to have been Contra. This is a classic game that rivals even the classic Mario which I might review in a later blog. Until then, Contra was a sidescrolling shooter that had either you by yourself or you and a friend running along a pre-determined route and basically blast about everything in sight.

I can't even remember what the point of the game was I think it had something to do about killing like aliens or something I just remember spending hours sitting with my brother just dominating everything in sight. Dying would suck because it would send you back to a crappy check point but in the end the game was too much fun to really worry about that. If any of you guys haven't played this game I highly recommend playing just pick up a cheap old Nintendo and a copy of Contra and spend an hour or so playing and you'll see what I mean by blowing up everything!


It's been a pleasure, MatsterChief signing off.

  1. I have never heard of Conta, and wasn't aware it was on par with Mario. Does look like a fun casual game though.
