Super Contra

Konami's 1988 title Super Contra is a fast-paced run and gun game. As the sequel to the original Contra, players once again assume the roles of commandos Bill Rizer and Lance Bean. Gun upgrades can now be collected twice to enhance their firepower, which comes in handy against the relentless alien horde you'll have to face.
