r/contra

Contra was my first game EVER that my dad showed me and it’s the reason I got hooked to video games. The game was so hard as a kid that i couldnt get past stage 4 and as a child that challenge and shooting of the game was so fun that I looked for it in other games like old gta’s, igi, cod and gow. Now Im 17 and at my sister’s without my computer so I tried playing contra on the web and I beat it. Somehow I feel like I lost a part of my childhood. The unbeatable game that started the obsession with playing games at hard or max difficulty got beaten? Anyway, this was just a rant I wanted to post publicly.
