I've beaten Contra "a couple" of times, Super C is another story.

I just got Super C in the Mail and it is a sequel I known that.

I'm just forever in awe of the simplicity of the NES Contras and How they are timeless.

Indeed. Once a year I play through Contra and Super C. Those games defined what simplistic fun. Hard as hell, though.

There is a Youtube series where an older guy who played the "back in the day" games let's his nephew (or something) play through older titles and give a modern day review. So far, he has covered Contra and Battletoads. His opinion of Contra was reduced due to how "hard" the game was.

Guess today's gamers are spoiled by health/armor regen and "respawn chambers."

hell yeah... i remember playing that back in the day, and getting owned by the bosses. my favorite one of the series is Contra 3 Alien Wars... thats one tough game.... mastering can take you months, but everytime you play it, is like the 1st time.

recently, i played Contra 4 on the DS, and THATS how a remake or sequel should be... HARD to the bone, and fun like no other.

I saw that Youtube video it's funny the kid says "the graphics suck," it's like duh kid they were using MS-PAINT if even that.

I still have yet to play the Arcade Version of Contra, which I heard is even more of a pain.

Contra isn't what I want to become, and it's something I don't know if I can surpass.

But for Reference Purposes I play that game everytime I need to remind myself what this is all for.
