History

Spread shots and the famous extra-life code define Contra (1987), the run-and-gun Europe called Gryzor. Bill and Lance advance through a jungle and an alien base, and the NES version became a co-op benchmark.

Konami rearranged the arcade stages for the home cart rather than copying every yard. The code that grants extra lives is tied to this board in players' memories.

The jungle, the waterfall, and the alien heart are the campaign's images. Gryzor is the European name, and the rearranged NES stages are the co-op game the code belongs to.
