How do you play in the hardest difficulty?
5pectre 13 Sep 2022 12:27
Difficulty can be changed with the dipswitches. In retroarch it's under Options once the game is started

Mastered! Gomeramos King is history. In fact, the hardest boss is Splitting Illusionary Ogre Godomuga.

Contra de Arcade não é melhor do que a versão de NES, mesmo sendo lançado primeiro nos arcades, os gráficos são superiores, óbvio, na terceira fase, dá pra perceber algo faltando, não tem chefe, são 2 torreta o lançador de bombas e o ponto fraco no final, não tem o chefe da versão de NES, as fases também são curtas até demais, as armas e os inimigos continuam os mesmo, as músicas são boas, mas ainda prefiro da versão de NES, no modo normal é bem de boa, agora no modo mais difícil, é um Spam de inimigos toda hora, as torretas tem mais vidas e os chefes também, a conquista mais difícil foi de passar a fase da neve até o final no modo mais difícil, 1 nave, 2 carro, 2 robô gigante, 1 Alien pênis e o chefe final, passar de 3 fases consecutivas é bem difícil.
