History

Bill and Lance spread their fire through Contra, Konami's run-and-gun that defined the game for NES players. A famous code culture grew around extra lives, the waterfall and the alien base are among the stages, and the home march is the 1988 cartridge.

A laser or a spreading shot changes a life. Two players share the screen.

The NES edition is the one home players mean by the name. This strict side-view assault is the memory, distinct from the arcade cabinet's angle.
