13 Mar 2018 19:51		I recently watched a longplay of this game on youtube and was surprised how well they did for the technology when compared to the SNES version. Looking forward to playing more contra!
19 Jul 2018 15:28		Try this. https://retroachievements.org/Game/11109
20 Jul 2018 4:37		That's interesting how the unlicensed versions are ported on to an older system.
11 Apr 2019 17:04		Is not protected against the code to skip levels, at least "real veteran" and "Only the basics" triggered using the code.
9 Jan 2020 3:09		Surprised the achievements for lower difficulties aren't included with the same achievement for higher difficulties. Oh well, Normal and Hard runs are now on the to-do list.
3 Feb 2020 7:20		"Prepared for the War": only Hard difficulty. Isn't possible gain lives in Maniac difficulty, even If maxed score to 999.999.
5 Jun 2020 1:33		There, Mastered this one for a second time!
16 Oct 2020 8:02		Compared with snes version this is easy, but really great game
