A free round of Contra

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A... Contra, the definitive late 80s game that has already graced countless arcades and NES/Famicom consoles worldwide, has now taken the crucial freeware web-thingy step. Simply follow this link to Contra 20th Anniversary Edition and enjoy some brilliantly remade NES Contra levels online. Just don't try using any old cheats... They probably wouldn't work.

  3. No, no, don't quit. Think of your 12 kids, 3 wives and 2 mistresses. You just can't do it.

    Nikolas, it's a gnome, not a person, technically. :) Glad you enjoy the retro thing, too.

  4. Bah, who needs codes. I played this game 7 times through start to finish with continuing "2nd quests" without suing any codes.

    PS, Contra rocks hard. Best game EVER (fact).

  9. Ok. Here. Just make sure you get the +2 longsword. Oh, and better wear the enchanted chanmail of the gay bard and grab a handful of healing scrolls too...

    Anything heartless enough to take a man's working pick must be deadly.
