Contra is one of my early classics, and even today it's the Chuck Norris and Rambo of video games.
Contra is one of the gaming classics, and for a very good reason. You play as a super soldier who jumps and shoots his way through 8 short but varied levels eliminating all resistance. There are a variety of enemies, lev... Read Full Review

Predator+Rambo+Alien=Contra=Epic Win!

The manliest game on the NES.
When you first look at the cover art for this game, you instantly think of the classic action movies of the late 70s and 1980s, like "Commando", "Rambo", "Alien", etc. I wouldn't be surprised if this game was inspired by... Read Full Review
