Contra arcade speed run

S0ryiu Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - The only problem I see with the arcade version is that the visuals are not that high a contrast color wise so everything blends together.

S0ryiu Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - this is nothing, Look at the arcade versions of R-type or Darius, they were from around that time and had visuals that later console ports to 16 bit couldn't reproduce properly.

Feb 5, 2012 - Look at any contra forum, most people on there bash the laser without ever knowing that it works best on the third person stages.

Feb 27, 2012 - no my vision is 20/20 but thanks for your concern my friend haha the arcade version might have "looked" better but the NES version had better balance. It seemed more approachable to casual and experienced players. Plus the 30 lives cheat is better than using 2-6 quarters. But thats just my opinion as you are entitled to yours. Peace brother

Feb 29, 2012 - ATTENTION!The arcade version is short because 1. it's an arcade game, not a home game, 2. it's challenging, and 3. if it was long, then players might not beat the game before leaving to other schedules like home, dinner, grocery shopping, etc.Saying the NES version is better than the Arcade version is like saying the MD / GEN Mortal Kombat is better than the Donkey Kong Arcade.

Feb 29, 2012 - Famicom version is greater than the NES version.

MHMemeDoubleYourFun Says:

Feb 29, 2012 - Gamers were most likely newcomers to home gaming back then and thought home gaming makes arcade gaming obsolete and thought Contra started where gamers started, but no, most video games back then started in the arcades before being ported to home consoles and home computers.Arcade version is mostly for scoring, while NES version is mostly for playing toward the end like viewing films and television episodes.

PuertoreekinPapi Says:

Mar 23, 2012 - so I am a moron because my opinion differs from yours? That's pretty close minded. Well at least if you are going to insult me use correct English. "How the fuck is the nes version better THIS arcade version" *laugh* epic fail

Mar 23, 2012 - Oh yeah i forgot to put "than" what are you going to do?Are you going to kill me?What a blind piece of shit you are.

PuertoreekinPapi Says:

Mar 24, 2012 - I hope insulting me through the internet makes your feel more of a man(or woman haha) cause it doesn't offend me. I'm sorry but you are going to have to come up with some sharper words to actually feel like you've "hurt my feelings" So if you are done embarrassing yourself maybe we can get back on to our lives. Thank you and good day sir

Mar 24, 2012 - Embarrassing myself?I am not the one who said the NES version was better than the arcade version.

SDSOverfiend Says:

Apr 25, 2012 - Nes version was the Shit.. But as a kid i played this version first and the NES is not fucking with this right here in certain aspects.....This version is just 2 short.... Glad the nes version was longer.

SDSOverfiend Says:

Apr 25, 2012 - Never in a million years Buddy...... As a kid i grew playing games in the arcades and this version is just too short. NES is a very good game though.

SDSOverfiend Says:

Apr 25, 2012 - The montior for this game was not the typical square type.. it was more of a upright rectangle for the maze stages..
