Easy or hard, Contra made an unforgetable stamp in our heart, forever

Years of my childhood is only 13 minutes?

I remember during the waterfall stage you always piss off the other player when you go up too fast and kill them, then you get into huge fights about it.

nostalgic. I beat this game over and over when I was a kindergarten kid back in 2002-2003. My family and friends thought I was a genius 🤣😂

That game brings back so many memories. I loved it

This classic NES game pumped up every kid's bloodcells at the start of the first screen and it gets better as you progress.

It's 15 years now but I remember each and everything about this game.. Thank You

Who doesn't love the sound of the rapid spread shots shooting the spike walls in the hanger stage?

No Konami code. No 2nd player. No lives lost. No problem.

My childhood was level 1 - 3 only

One of the epic games I grew up playing and enjoying with my brother!!! Thank you for sharing this video even though it's been 11 years since you posted this...brings back memories

Still better than call of duty

The ending song still gives me goosebumps.

When shooting games were actually good.

Oh man haven't seen this game in 15 years! The memories!

Wow, haven't seen this in about 20 years. Thank you!

This guy made it look like child's play

2019 год , самое время появиться в рекомендованных ...

I miss the 90's

The mind-blowing graphics, the intense symphony-like music, the incredible back story and constant danger. This is the greatest and most epic video/human interaction ever engineered by human kind.

Contra is the GOAT of shooter games.

Oh, c'mon! How dangerous can this guy be with a gun that only shoots bubbles?

Смотрел с удовольствием и вспоминал родные места🤣

Had to watch this after watching that horrible Today's Teens React to Contra. So painful. Thanks for cleansing my soul.

6:56 i have never seen someone destroy the truck that quickly hot damn

this game was by far one of my favorites

This brings back so many memories. This game was perfect. The music was awesome. I remember always thinking, why not just blow up the island in the first place? I was probably 10 or 11 back when this came out

My favorite part is when he shot and ran to the right.

one of the best features of this game is the music, i can remember loving the first level, and the ice levels music as a kid. still sounds epic today.

I was always impressed with myself if I could be this with the 30 lives cheat. Just goes to show you what a whole bunch of practice and some raw skill will do for you. Congrats man, this was awesome!

The most important code of my youth = up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, a , b, start. Old School.

SERIOUSLY!!!! the amount of time spent playing games like this in my youth, frustrated, and you make it look so easy. *sigh* smh AWESOMEEEEEE :)

I liked this video before I even watched it. This guy's a beast!

good old days

Along with practically everything else, I especially loved the sound effects in this game, so damn awesome, it certainly draws you in (cant help but love the machine gun shots!)

I still remember the cheat code for this game. Up up down down left right left right b a b a start... 30 lives and I could conquer the game. What a classic this was. So many memories of my childhood.

minimum PC requirements to play this game : i9900k 32GB RTX 2080 Ti 144mhz monitor

I had tears when the credits rolled. My childhood gone 😭

Thank's for bringing back such memories of childhood

holy shit. the nostalgia is too much...

I love Contra so much!

The ammo that starts at 39 seconds was my favorite. I used to avoid upgrading to the laser (I think that just happened @ 58 seconds too?) just so that I could keep that ammo, sweet ammo.

I would not have thought it possible under 20 minutes. Well done, very impressive

Man. This is OG speedrunning. 13 years ago. Such good quality too. A lot of older speedrun vids were filmed with Potato Engine 4.

This games takes me back since 1992

Only one here getting a vibe of the main character being in a hurry because he will have to pick up the kids from school or something?

this tmnt, Super Mario and duck hunt were my favs

my one of the best childhood games

Call of Duty's grandfather.

We had this back in the day. I apparently got some messed up glitch every time I tried playing it. Every time... EVERY TIME I would be stuck in the first stage for HOURS just walking straight forward. I thought until recently that it was just messed up, but my brother said he beat it several times. Me? I just walked straight forward... no enemies, no things trying to blow me up, no possibility of falling... just straight forward.

It was the first game i had played in my childhood. i know when my father bring game player to home then we all brother played this game.great childhood memories

When I was playing this game (as a small child) I've never thought there could be something like savespots, aspecially so many of them :P Good job you did there :)

first tym u tube is useful for me...becoz such a beautiful childhood memories comes to me😍

And that is how you kick ass!

I remember completing it in co-op after so many tries. And this guy made it look like it's nothing.

this is a game of my childhood! Thank you!

Fastest I ever beat it was 8:30 or so. Also I looped the game 17 times and had over 50 lives built up without Konami code. After the 9th time through the game you will only get an extra life from killing the heart at the end and the aliens are indestructible. No turbo controller, just my turbo thumb. Games score maxed out around 13th time through. I am Bill Rizer and I have a problem : ()

the base levels in this game always annoyed me. not that they're hard, they're just not as fun as the platformer sections.

I love it when the character jumps (and spins) but the direction of the shots can always be controlled.

Contra You took my childhood and I don't want it back.

I never figured what those people in the base are doing... they're not even attacking... they're just running into the bullets

the best player on this world

The two men back to back on the menu both look like John Rambo and Commando. Considering those kind of movie first started in the 80's like this game.

Awesome playing!! Reminded me of my childhood.

Every time I played this game it made me feel so badass

15 minutes is my best time.. I definitely use almost all of the 30 lives..

Up up down down left right left right b a start ......i think? great memories!

Finished this as a kid... great game, sick speed run..gj

Who is watching n remembering childhood in 2019 ??

My childhood memories! ♥️😭 Energy Zone 8:00..As per my opinion it's tougher Level in Contra..My opinion Hanger is also tough but not like this

Awesome skills you have.

Childhood Memories... Loved it ...

up 2x down 2x left right left right b,a, start.

Mejor que las campañas de battlefield , halo y de COD

Contra was the best game i played until now

Omg this game one of my favorite games of all the time I swear

5:49 glitch or editing

Still better than COD

Thanks bro u just returned me 13.52 mins of my childhood

In all reality, it takes a good eye to see how this was done. It's all in the timing of movement throughout the game.

MANO EU JOGAVA MUITO ESSE JOGO VELHO E QUERO VOLTAR A JOGAR:(

After 23 years i was lucky to see the end.

Loved the "spread" with rapid,then magnum for me.

Millennials will never appreciate how games evolved. These are classics.

you good

Something is very bizarre about this video. The first Rapid power up exploded on its own, and Spread shots aren’t initiating in 5 directions. Spread is only supposed to fire in fewer directions when there are more than 5 but fewer than 10 bullets already on the screen. Also note the alternation of Spread shot directions going left then right in stage 2. This is not at all what happens on the NES version. The biggest clue that something is wrong is that the wall guns in both bases never fire toward the player at angles, but just straight ahead. Please justify these discrepancies. Either your emulation is faulty or your game is modified. Compare with a recent Contra video on my KZfaq channel, recorded from my iPad, playing the NES on a CRT TV to see the differences I am talking about.

Dream game of 90's children.

Gone ahead with ya bad self! Great run, dude.

I was never able to get past like stage 3 as a kid. Apparently pre-firing is the key? Unfortunately, girls are not a fan of this

Fact: I never beat this game

Dude you just went beast mode!!

One day this run will be featured in summoning salt videos

I finished this game in my 6yr :D

I beat this game when I was 4 or 5. I wasn't in kindergarten yet.

This made my childhood awesome

How were you able to beat the bosses so quickly? It didn't seem like you shot at anything for very long...even so, I think the big lesson I take from this is that it's really a matter of timing. It's almost like you know where stuff is and exactly where to shoot at exactly the right times. Fascinating. I didn't play Contra at all in my childhood, discovered it as an adult. Tough, but always worth playing a time or ten...

who is still watching in 2019??

It's easy using a turbo control

yep.. games like this take reflexes and nerves of steel! my generation has really quick reflexes thanks to games like this

The best shooting game ever! Loved it so much and i still love it :D
