Contra

[satoshi_matrix]

Is it just me, or is Famicom Contra harder than NES contra? It seems like the enemies are more abundant in it.

Probably is. Nintendo seemed to think American gamers were pussies...think SMB2.

[UglyJoe]

Actually, Japan thinks Americans are pussies when it comes to RPGs.  Action games, on the other hand, are often made more difficult for the US.

true i played through both contras and the famicom one seemed harder than the nes one.

[satoshi_matrix]

Well, look at Megaman 2. The NES version's Normal Mode is a super easy version of Rockman 2's defult difficulty, which was deemed Hard mode in Megaman 2. Now I'm not bashing the mode at all; its probably a good reason why Megaman 2 became so popular. Not only was it one of the best games on the system, but it was the most accessable. Even beginner or non gamers could play and enjoy it in a way not found on any of the others.

60$, Euro or Pound ?

Hey guys!
60 US dollars, or maybe $100+ mint with the konami playing card.

Also the MSX version sucks, but it's rad since it's so different.! Theres no scrolling so the screen changes once you reach the end it, plus it has a bunch of different levels.  However, the play control and animation are quite bad so it ends up being an awesome collectable but low on the gaming rating.

Cameo by feather.

And wow, that looks awful. The MSX version of Metal Gear looks nice, why does that look so horrid?

[FamicomFreak]

hahaha I like how the nes contra looks more.....

[Har the cat]

I like metal gear for the msx. But the game has some translation faults.
Mine english is not so good either
for example A mine is main! and some other mistakes but the game is very cool!
Contra is cool too! I like it much more than probotector

Anyone know where to find a CIB Contra.  I can't seem to find it on ebay.

[JC]

It's kinda rare...and if it ain't on eBay, try YHJ. If it ain't on YHJ...be patient,

In box, no chance. Loose, of course; easy to find on ebay.

Can someone post the title screen of the NES version of Contra and Super Contra ?
