Yes, it is Contra again. It is a part of Contra Anniversary Collection so i’m gonna play what i paid for. But not in Contra Anniversary Collection, obviously. I’ve played Contra (Japan).nes ROM on FCEUX 2.6.6 I don’t get it, why did they remove the cool cutscenes and the map in the other versions? Those make it look significantly better. I also saw people cleaim that this version is significantly…

I’ve played the ROM called Super Probotector – Alien Rebels (Europe).sfc on Snes9x 1.61 As Probotector just an IP for reskins of Contra games, this one is just a reskin of Contra Spirits.

But then again, some sites claim that the Famicom version is harder. The original arcade version is already garbage, so it’s hard to do anything worse. And, well, this…

魂斗羅 [Kontora] (Contra Anniversary Collection)

Konami emulator is functional but it is as convenient as eating soup with chopsticks. There is only one save slot so you better be sure you are safe before over-writing it. And it’s buried in the menu. The emulator runs in forced 16:9 so when i launched it in 4:3 i had both letterboxing and emulator’s pillarboxing. One would think that the screen rotation option in the settings would make the…
