NES Tips – Contra

Episode #: 012
Original Date: December 15, 2006
Running Time: 8:38

The Contra series is what action gaming is all about. Intensity. This first game set the tone of all the games that followed it, no doubt! Oh, play this game without the code, ya wussies!

Okay, so you’re probably thinking, “Uh, Rob, what kind of tips could there honestly be for a game like Contra?!?” I pretty much agree with that, but there are a few little things that can be mentioned. Like places you can stand and the like. It came out alright, but definitely not one of the better episodes in terms of the tips. What I do like, however, are all the Arnold references. If any game represents the awesome 80′s action flicks, it’s Contra. What better way to portray that then to use Arnold throughout the video? haha My friend Shawn made the mock-up showing the cover art of the box revealed for what it was, so I thought it would be good to use it. This episode also marks the first time I used the “Just say no to code” gag.
