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!

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.

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.

7:20		"Prepared for the War": only Hard difficulty. Isn't possible gain lives in Maniac difficulty, even If maxed score to 999.999.
