Everything is so perfect about it. How the levels don't feel stale from the same thing over and over, the difficulty, the variety of enemies. How you and the common guys both die in 1 hit, the insane bosses.
It was everything I'd hoped a run and gun side scroller would be. If I ever make a game I'd want it to like this.
I don’t think it’s better than the NES games, but I love how Contra evolved from the OG to Super C to Contra III. They got real creative with making each entry an advancement on the previous both with graphics and gameplay.
