Reasonably good difficulty

Awesome Bosses

Run & Gun thread? Favoriate/most memorable run and guns!

I think I actually prefer Super C and the original to the SNES/Genesis versions, which were a bit too "memorize this" in comparison, due to the speed by which the screen scrolled and the hold to fire mechanics.

I could never beat every path with Fang. He was so tall and clunky and his weapons were hard to use.

I love this game. I wish my dad hadn't sold my genesis :'(

I guess because it was an incredible game and people didn't realize it until it was too late because they were too busy jerking off over Contra 3 and now it's really rare.

If I'm playing Hard Corps with someone who's not good at games, what should I do? Use the Konami code? Download the hack that use lifebars?

I did that, you either carry them by doing everything yourself on one life (which I can do most of the game with one life, a few parts still get me once in awhile though) or you two can keep restarting and memorizing the game together.

Desirable game, saw once on toaboa (real) for £42 planning on putting up a poster in uni for a Chinese student to help me buy a load of shit.

No, its not. Hell, I even prefer the Nes and the Gameboy Contras over it.

If only I still had my copy, it got ruined along with my Genesis in a flood about 11 years ago.

Fang goes from being the hardest char to the easiest once you know the enemy's movement. Gun A is the best run & gun weapon in the game and D (the charging one) is hell on the bosses. You just have to know where to step.

>HOLY SHIT YOUR CHARACTER DIES IN ONE ENDING

That ending's my favorite one. Especially the part where they build a 5000 mile high bronze statue of you. (Also, this- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cGSzy_QRpk))
