Contra

Konami's 1988 FC run-and-gun classic, celebrated for its punishing difficulty and electrifying gunplay. Players command special operatives Bill or Lance, blasting through jungles, waterfalls, enemy facilities, and more to dismantle the alien force Red Falcon and its towering bosses. Two-player simultaneous co-op is fully supported, and a varied arsenal — including the spread gun and homing missile — gives each weapon pickup a distinct impact. Forever associated with the iconic Konami Code (↑↑↓↓←→←→BA), Contra remains one of the most influential action games to emerge from the FC era.
