Now THIS is the defining run-n-gun game! Contra on NES really set the roots for what a run-n-gun game should be! It controls well, the music is great, the stages are very challenging without feeling unfair, and honing on your skills makes for great replay value!

Want to know where to start in the run-n-gun subgenre? Look no further! This is included in the Contra Collection that was released on Switch, PS4, Xbox, and Steam. It's a very suitable way to play as the porting team really made it feel 1-to-1 with the original NES experience.
