Some information about Contra (USA)
The playing rule
Contra (USA) is a classic shooting retro game developed by Konami. Control the character to shoot down as many rivals as possible and destroy their basement.
In this game, you transform into a professional shooter who is armed with a powerful gun. Your objective is to find out the rivals’ basement and destroy it. However, you have to be careful as you can meet many enemies and deadly traps along the way. The enemies will actively attack you to stop you from reaching their base. Therefore, you have to knock out them before they do that with you. Remember that you have three lives which are represented by medals. If you get a shot, you will lose a life. It means that if you die three times, the game is over. Therefore, attempt to avoid the bullets of your opponents. Besides, you can earn extra lives by killing many rivals. If you see any pill box sensors or flying capsules, don’t ignore them. Destroy them to get new abilities and different weapons.
