FLASH BACK OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS - CONTRA SERIES

in #archdruid5 years ago

Today I decide to draw our attention back to those old days when gaming was full of fun. I remember back then, it was few people that can afford to buy consoles and the rest of us will queue up to play. Once you are knocked out it will take time for it to get to your turn. They are thousands of persons queuing up to get their hands on the pad. With this frustration, everybody wants to learn all the necessary tricks in the game, because they cant afford to seat down for hours before it gets to their turn.

The main contra was released as an arcade game in the year February 20th 1987 and it makes alot of success in the gaming world. Koji Hironshita from Arcade and Shigeharu Umezaki from Nes did awesome work in developing the game.

GRAPHIC
It was fun knowing full well that the graphic of the game was improved on from one series to the other.

Final Verdict

The Contra series/era was full of fun, those old gamers can attest to this. How I wish the current generation can also have a flex of what was enjoyed back then. I will be happy seeing more modification been added to this game. We need more worked upon series.

Appreciation
my appreciation goes to CHUKONG AND KONAMI and his entire team for developing such an amazing game.

I played the early version of Contra on the NES. It has been a while since I thought about it, thanks for the memory.
