	Moshe613 1 May 2024 22:03 Mastered in 2 days.
	DagonTheGreatest 19 May 2024 12:17 Beaten on Konami code finally (in 3 days roughly, if we ignore the gap), and feel proud of it. Although it's the most balanced shooter on NES I've ever encountered, somehow it seems like the 6 and 7 stages are harder than 8. Way more traps, dangerous stuff happening and crucial need to remember every single trap thoroughly - both the spikewalls, flamethrowers and other stuff seems way harder than medusa heads on stage 8. It's crooked like a cookie, to be honest, regardless of all creeps surrounding it. Of course, the game is almost perfect, albeit having obvious underworkings, it can be considered perfect for real.
	LittleBrother 22 May 2024 13:51 How many times you will need to beat the game to master this set?
	k0ma 14 Jun 2024 04:23 Two times for the loop achievement. And several tries if you want to master the 'Medals of Honor' cheevo.
	CrystalClear 24 Jun 2024 17:48 Mastered, an actual amazing set! The Waterfall Cease-Fire challenge destroyed me but then I realized you can go through the tanks enemies. Otherwise it was very smooth
	cart 11 Jul 2024 06:37 this goes from a challenging game before you can beat it.. but after you beat it i made it to loop 5 on the same batch of continues. after you can beat it once you can basically curb stomp the game.
	manevane 26 Jul 2024 20:15 Thank you for the set.
	Titanodeath 4 Nov 2024 02:47 Mastered! A walk in the park compared to the Arcade version.
	Amzolg 8 Nov 2024 15:13 I can't get over how hard this game is... Even with the Konami code I got tired of trying without using save states.
	ApocalipseXX 8 Nov 2024 21:25 Platinado #9 Contra não é um jogo tão difícil, se você usa o botão de turbo, todos são triturados por seus tiros, jogo curto e divertido, mas as conquistas desse jogo são bem ruim, porque que tem uma conquistas de pegar a arma de fogo, e simplesmente vencer o nível 4 sem morrer, COM UMA DAS PIORES ARMA DO JOGO???? E a do laser é a mesma coisa, pra que essas conquistas nada haver, mate 10 inimigos da torreta sem matar outro inimigo, só se esqueceu que, OS INIMIGOS NAO PARAM DE NASCER OU SEJA, SE VOCÊ DER 1 TIRO A MAIS É CAPAZ DE VC MATAR UM INIMIGOS ALEATÓRIO QUE NASCEU, bom jogo mas, o set dessas conquistas são bem ruim.
	Eduarwan 19 Nov 2024 00:26 How difficult the achievements are, I don't have that much time, I see that the achievements they add are too difficult, I think they should make more normal achievements.
	calmLIKEaBOBomb 27 Nov 2024 17:10 Really fun and creative set. I originally threw in the towel and felt I wasn't good enough to master it. But I recently mastered Super C. Which is a more difficult game in my opinion. But that set was pretty easy. So I felt I had to come back to this one.... I'm glad I did.
	l33t3rth4nur1111 13 Dec 2024 19:27 dunno whether this kind of difficulty is expected of a regular cheevo set here but i know im never gonna do it lol
	Soy018 4 Jan 2025 10:56 Mastered. Waterfall Cease-Fire was the hardest one. By a HUGE margin, too XD
	iOliver0212 8 Jan 2025 23:30 Mastered after three months <3
	13lenar 12 Jan 2025 13:09 1407 dni co stanowi 3 lata, 10 miesięcy i 5 dni.

	Retrogamerzfan 15 Mar 2025 02:11 Mastered!!! Took 16:51.09
	Volodislaw 6 Apr 2025 06:00 Наконец-то я освоил эту величайшую игру! Ради такого кайфа пришлось пожертвовать нервными клетками. Честно говоря, я удивлён, что Contra освоили так много людей, ведь достижения здесь довольно-таки сложные, и многие из них основываются на случайности. Это говорит только о народной любви к этой игре, для многих она имеет огромное значение в жизни. Даже можно взять меня в качестве примера, я до последнего думал, что не смогу получить сложнейшее достижение "I Have Arms, and I Must Scream" на хардкоре. Но сжав волю в кулак и выучив паттерны рук, я сделал это. Если у кого-то появится желание стать мастером Contra, советую сначала завершить её на софткоре, чтобы понять принцип выпадения достижений.
	mariodoarmario 22 Apr 2025 23:49 Set bem tosco.
