 | GAMERJET 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! | ||
 | JAM 19 Jul 2018 15:28 Try this. https://retroachievements.org/Game/11109 | ||
| GAMERJET 20 Jul 2018 04:37 That's interesting how the unlicensed versions are ported on to an older system. | ||
 | NgNvNn 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. | ||
 | Aekko 9 Jan 2020 03:09 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. | ||
 | Araujo8686 3 Feb 2020 07:20 "Prepared for the War": only Hard difficulty. Isn't possible gain lives in Maniac difficulty, even If maxed score to 999.999. | ||
| Aekko 5 Jun 2020 01:33 There, Mastered this one for a second time! | ||
 | SuperCarloConti 16 Oct 2020 08:02 Compared with snes version this is easy, but really great game | ||
 | AzuchiAkeshi 22 Nov 2021 15:49 Mastered! Great port, much better than the GBA version! :D | ||
