About this product

Product Information

The Contra series continues with this 16-bit masterpiece for the Super NES. Much of the blastathon action is of the standard side-scrolling platform variety, but two of the six levels incorporate a surprisingly effective overhead view. Giant bosses, constant shooting action, the ability to detonate bombs, intense gameplay, huge explosions, rich graphics, death-defying acrobatics, and spectacular Mode 7 effects make Contra III: The Alien Wars one of the best platform shooters available for any system. The game could benefit from a few more levels, and slowdown occurs from time to time, but these problems can easily be overlooked in a game as enjoyable as this.

    Contra III Brings the Alien Wars to the Super Nintendo

    Three times the charm for this sequel that started back in the arcades. Despite it's name, this game is really about an alien invasion. If you remember the good old days playing Contra on the classic Nintendo system, you will like the shooting levels of this 16-bit version. The American version is slightly different than the international releases in regards to the story line. That is not important. What is important is that you get a fast shooting action game with different varying levels to keep the pace moving. This game borrows some elements from the arcade predecessors making this game unique like only Konami can do it right.

    Classic Side Scrolling Action

    If you have played any 2d Contra game then you know what to expect. Nonstop action, hard to dodge obstacles and bullets, huge bosses, and aliens. All topped off with great difficulty, beautiful sprites and backgrounds, and a memorable soundtrack. Highly recommend. P.S. if you have a Sega Genesis, but no SNES, try Contra Hard Corps.

    Contra III Great Repro Cartridge!

    Just received this cartridge yesterday, arrived in 12 days which isn't bad since its coming from overseas. The shell is strong and sturdy it does not feel like cheap plastic, it's the snap on type shell, not held by the 2 screws. The color of the shell looks good it's spot on to the original cartridges. The sticker label graphics are excellent, great colors. Most importantly the game-play is spot on and it plays just like the original, good graphics, good color, no lag, controls are excellent. This is a great addition to the SNES collection at a fraction of the cost.
