| 130.1 | 2 player too? | DPDMAI::DAVISGB | Gil Davis - N55591 | Fri Dec 30 1988 13:26 | 4 |
| Does this work for two player also? Do you set it for 2 player
and then press the sequense or does it matter?
|
| 130.2 | Sure do. | TRUPUT::JWILLIAMS | Welcome to the Bush League | Fri Dec 30 1988 15:21 | 3 |
| Sure does. Had my brother over last weekend and we made extensive
use of it.

| Got a question,
At the final stage in the HANGAR level...what is the best fire power to
have to blast thu the door at the end?
also....what fire power is best in ALIEN'S LAIR?...and how many levels
after ALIEN'S LAIR are there ?

| When playing contra (with the cheat) and getting to the alien's
lair I find that alot of the time you don't last long enough to
hold onto a particular firepower long enough. The ALIEN'S LAIR
is the last level of the game.

********************************spoiler************************************
In the hanger level, just shoot at the spot above the door with
lazer which works the best.
In the alien's lair, spread is the best, it wipes out the eye
things in the ceiling and floor.
hope this helps,

I'm just curious; has anyone ever managed to win Contra using only
3 lives? The game is rather easy to beat using the 30 lives, with
or without continuing. I guess I'd be duly impressed to hear about
someone winning without the "Contra Cheat".

I had a friend that made it using only three lives, continuing
of course. He just practiced with the thirty until he could make
it.

| I got Contra when it was first released, and played it exclusively
for a long time. I did beat it with only 3 lives, before the cheat
was known to me. In addition, I only have the standard game
controllers, so I did it without rapid fire of slow-motion. It
did take a massive investment in play time for me. I beat the Red
Falcon about 3 times before I knew about the cheat. I don't remember
if I ever did it without a continue. I have a cousin, who also
completed Contra without the cheat.
regards completing the Hangar Level:
I find it easiest with the spray gun, since you can knock out the
mortar launchers, and then blast the door without any problem.
But, I have been able to complete it with just the normal gun.
My cousin gave me the following hint to complete the hangar level.
Spoiler follows
Stay the the far left of the screen. Time your jumps to shoot the
thing above the door and to aviod the mortar shells, as they explode
on the ground.

Note 249.0 Cheating at CONTRA 1 reply
BOARDS::MONDALTO 28 lines 12-APR-1989 06:50
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My sons buddy was over the other nite playing CONTRA,and he showed
my son how to get (cheat) 30 extra commandos at the very begining.
I know cheating is a very bad word but,you do need those extras
to get to some of the levels that I saw.For instance,there is this
weird monster I think its a dragon,and there is no way you could
get there with the three men that you start off with.Here is how
you do it.
As soon as the game starts,(showing the 2 commandos) you must be
fast by doing the following,on your controls.
Press the arrow ( 2 ) times up up
( 2 ) times down down
( 1 ) time left right
( 1 ) time left right
( 1 ) time hit B A start
This should all be done in aout 2 seconds or less,
then the 30 will appear on the screen.Please add
to this note any other helping points.
Good Luck
John

Note 275.0 CONTRA "IS THERE MORE AFTER THE ENERGY ROOM" No replies
NITMOI::MONTOWSKI "Thomas Montowski 247-2186 VSEG" 7 lines 4-MAY-1989 12:56
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone tell me how many levers (screens) there are in CONTRA. I have made
it to the Energy room (the SNOW area was a pain) and have died so many times
because of the Lazers or Flametrowers I would like to know if this is the last
obstacle. BTW I have not used any of the cheating options yet although the 30
life option is looking better everyday.
thanks

I tried Contra, and still haven't beaten it... Don't you know I came
home from work, and my son who is six, had the NERVE to do it... Right
in front of me!!!! Apparently he's been practicing... with his best
friend!!! Well... I Couldn't tell him NOTHING... WELL Let me tell you..
I THINK IT'S A STUPID GAME ANYWAY!!!!
And futher more, I think his friend is a bad influence...
Maria
Seriously, I was so proud of him... He patiently sat with me to
show me how to do it... Now I can do it, with his help of course!
