So, WatchMojo rated Contra one of the most brutal NES games, and I just finished it in I think under an hour. I almost beat it as a 6 year old actually, I just didn't realize how close I was to the end. Legend of Zelda was MUCH harder. The gameplay is fun and the art style is really what has drawn me to this game over and over through the years, it's absolutely beautiful and all of the art really jumps out at you.
