Oh, come on. I know the entire series by heart. I can even beat the original without using cheats, save states, or even the Konami Code. And I also know Predator has nothing to do with Bill Rizer's inspiration. The closest inspiration to Bill Rizer is actually John Matrix from Commando.

what's a contra?

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

It's today's Poll of the Day. It says, "30 years later, have you played the original Contra?" A majority of votes say they haven't played a single Contra game. So they either missed out or just playing crappy Call of Duty games.

Anyone can beat the 8bit Contra without cheats.

Mr. TC Sir. You have to remember some of the age demograph on here. Not everyone has played the original 8 bit Contra. I was more of a Mega Man fan anyway.

Do... do you not know what majority means?

Because Im thinking you dont know what majority means..


Most votes are either honest or just people who click for the hell of it. I do think they fail to realise the age demography on here and the fact the TC sometimes assumes knows things that they like or heard of.

I never played the orginal Contra game until 2011, but I was 10 at that time. I didn't think it was anything special.

Okay... but what does that have to do with what I said?


Mainly from what the TC is trying to tell us.

Forgive me. A bit groggy and sleepy.

Its still wrong. He said a majority clearly responding to the poll in which the majority has played a contra game. The exact opposite of what r claimed.

Hence my questioning his knowledge on the words definition.


Pretty much. I assume he may think "Everyone and their dogs" heard or played it or somethin'. Whilist many may have played it. It may be a smaller fraction of people who may have played it than people the TC thinks.

Reminds me of when someone went postal when I said I never watched Die Hard or played certain games.

Yes really. There are people who get seriously hyper defensive over things if one never seen/played/heard of before.

It's a common flub in everyone's speech, but the world won't end if a person never heard of the said thing another person likes or seen.

i do not support reagan politics. so i never played contra.

j/k give those guerrilla fighter money so they won't start a communist government in our backyard.

but yes i played every contra game that was release in the us.. even the tiger handheld ones. I love me some contra. But of course i hated that the best ending were always achieved on the hardest difficulty. You always needed 2 player to help you and you were as strong as your weakest link to get that best ending.

Yeah, thats the problem with 3, 4, and ReBirth. But in Shattered Soldier and Neo, you have to do really well to see the true ending, destroying everything and trying hard not to die.

That's the thing that sucks about Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra. You have to aim to get that perfect rank to progress to the end.

This is my favorite Contra. Got extremely far (Final form of the final stage) but never actually beat it with friends.

The majority of voters aren't here. I suggest trying to track them down somewhere else. Preferably far away from here =p

Can't remember if I ever played the original release, but it was available through Contra 4. Contra 4 is a great game. Let's talk about that instead. I also never beat that. Got to the last level near the end, though.

Well it's got controls partly from Midnight Resistance so that's one good thing about it. And you can keep your weapons, but I don't mind the challenge of losing a weapon after I lose.
