465.0. "Super Contra?" by AV8OR::REN (I will not burp in class) Mon Jun 04 1990 18:43

    I just saw Super Contra at the Toy Works in Franklin, MA. They said they
    just got it in last week. Has anyone heard anything about this game (is it
    worth the money?). I enjoyed the original Contra game...how is this one
    different?

465.1It's GREAT!CHFS32::HMONTGOFrith in a Pond!Wed Jun 06 1990 16:1911
    Super Contra is almost exactly like contra.
    I rented it this past weekend and I loved it.  All the weapons are
    the same. The first board is in somthing like an enemy base. It
    is very simalar to the first board on contra. But on the second
     you're looking down on the men like in Metal Gear.  I don't want
    to spoil it for you. It is definantly(sp?) worth the money and if
    you liked Contra you will love Super contra. Could this be like
    a second mission?

465.2SPOILERPOETS::SCHNARECHARLIE SCHNAREWed Jun 06 1990 20:1036
    I have rented this game and think it is greatm also but for a small
    correction regarding the last note one weapon has changed. The weapon
    is fire fire has become one huge round ball of fire and when it hits
    sopmething it spreads out. This game is verty challenging and worth the
    money. It is az little different from the first one because your shots
    go alot faster and the enemy bullets are faster. There are two views of
    your character one from above and one from below. I myself have beaten
    this game and believe the ending was dissapointing. If you would like
    to start out with ten guys here is a code

    Push A and B at the same time and hold them down, then push
    start and watch what happens.  It's cool.

465.4It is a great gameLODGE::LENDavid M. LenWed Jun 27 1990 17:3812
    I have been absent from this conference for quite a while but trying to
    play this game has brought me back.  I did manage to beat the first
    Contra without any cheat.  And I have made it deep into Area 6 of
    Super C without any cheat.  But I plan on using the cheat from .2,
    thanks.  I have really enjoyed playing both of the Contra games, but I
    don't want to invest the time it would take me to beat it on my own.
    
    This isn't the kind of game you can give very many tips on.  But I did
    develope a couple tricks that helped me get thru some of the levels. 
    If someone has some specific problems, I may be able to give some
    tactics.  I will try to check out this topic from timt to time.
    
465.5Beat it at last!LODGE::LENDavid M. LenFri Jul 27 1990 22:324
    Well, I just beat SuperC.  The eighth level was really tough.  And
    seven was really different (going down vs. going up).  It took me
    awhile even with the 10 life cheat.  I wonder what I will work on now?
                                                                           
465.6help invoking xtra livesSALEM::BOHANEKMon Apr 15 1991 08:548
    Can someone please tell when you are suppose to punch in the 10 lives
    cheat command? I have tried it several times and it does not work.
    
    I've tried it as the Super C lettering comes across the screen 
    at the select 1 or 2 players screen and in the play screen.

465.7help with extra livesSALEM::BOHANEKFri Apr 19 1991 10:188
    Can someone tell me when you are suppose to punch in the commands
    to bring on extra lives? I have tried as the lettering comes across
    the screen at the select # of players screens and on the actual playing
    screen. This was tried for contra and Super C with no effect.
    
    Thanks,
    Brian
    
465.8Super Contra CheatCSC32::B_LUCKETTTue Apr 23 1991 15:183
    You have to punch the code in while the banner is crossing the screen.
    I think the code is in 465.2.
