I remember this game playing as I was about 6 years old (I'm 22 now), but I still recognized the soundtrack (at least from the first stage) immidieatly^^ Great game!
The soundtrack by itself isnt enough. You need that machine gun fire, bullet hit/ricochet, bomb fall whistle and explosion sounds to accompany it. Especially in boss battles.
Jungle is so nice they used it twice, but the Base theme gets my heart pumping and the Alien's Lair piece is a fitting and tense theme for a final confrontation.
Love this vid, very nostalgic! Suddenly the Jungle soundtrack hopped into my mind & I tried to Google it, & almost jump from my chair when I found this vid. Thanks a bunch! U made my day~
I Can dare to say that this was one of the most games that i played in my life i like that soundtrack.. and i can't forget this game i remember when i played this i was too viced to this game i just remember that i wanted to get up at 4:00 Am to play this game.. It was an epic game and it'll be alive for ever. Contra for EVER!! I think so! Greetings from Pripyat - Ucranie (Edo. Bolivar - Venezuela)
This is the best soundtrack/video, love how you time stamped it so you can skip around!! Great shit!!! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Just Hearing that First Beat of this Song hit brought so much Joy to me bac in those days, and still does. If you was a 80's baby, U kno how i feel : )
Awesome music for an awesome game. I used to worship "Contra." I'm still a big fan of Contra, Super Contra and "Operation C." Legendary stuff!!!! Thanks for posting!
Man. I played this game nearly as much as I played MegaMan. Again, thanks for bringing me back. :D Never owuld have made it without the 30 lives code. I guess I'm nothing like those guys on the cover. :(
Castlevania1, 2, 3, 4, 5, DraculaX and Symphony of the Night (saturn version if you want the entire game bosses and stages) are perfect examples of very very good music in 2d games
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start That code carried me through the first couple months of owning the game. I was an 8-year old who mowed lawns and saved every penny to get Contra. Eventually I would be able to complete the game with a single man... no way I could still do that today. My gamer-skills have long since eroded. :(
Zelda, Metroid, Metal Gear, and gosh a whole lot of other games are great with great soundtracks oh and don't forget LifeForce. Contra brings back my young kid memories playing NES and I will always treasure it in my heart. Konami kicks ass by the way. Thank You Austin532 for the upload. You Da Man! Check out NESComplex. Good guy in the NES field and you're best friend in the world of video gaming. Trust me..he's the best in gaming. Us gamers gotta keep it rolling. Happy Game Day.
Yes they do, its called Hard Corps : Uprising. I don't know why didn't they name it Contra, maybe its because it looks modern and the characters look very futuristic. I played it and its pretty good specially the laser gun in it. Definitely worth checking out.
Allow me to blow your mind. "Contra" is actually 3 Japanese characters/symbols (熱斗魂), which is the shortened version of "熱い斗魂とゲリラ戦術の素質を先天的に併せ持つ最強の闘士" which means "ultra-strong soldiers born with both a hot fighting spirit and guerilla tactical abilities." I shit you not. I am a Japanese-English translator and I just now pieced that together myself.
@pejnismiggle holy crap, that's one of the best points i've heard in a long time, the blue player looks like Schwarzenegger and the red player looks like Stallone and the enemy looks like the Alien from the movie...well..."Alien."
Hard Corps is fantastic by the way. 5 weapon slots plus a nuke slot. Multiple paths to take that each offer different bosses. 4 playable characters and you can even lock your feet in place and shoot from a stationary position which comes in handy a lot;)
you would not believe it if i told you , but they actully tried to get them both at the time in the 90's to do a movie together in a similar setting but it never went through cause they hated each other , in the mid 90's they finally put aside their diffrence and the idea of them both being a movie was sweept under the table like many other movies, contra movie will never be made , but an anime might be in the works soon.
I can hear my dear mom right now: "turn that crap off and do your homework!" What memories of this great game.
+jmua04 Yep, what memories ! :')
+jmua04 Hey dont make me cry..
hahaha now I do my homework listening this soundtrack
Hey call of duty ,,,, its your grandpa here
So much fun with nes games we all had
This brought tears to my eyes
me too bro..
Same here....sooo many memories!
I remember this game playing as I was about 6 years old (I'm 22 now), but I still recognized the soundtrack (at least from the first stage) immidieatly^^
Great game!
I would hang out at the end of levels and not blow open the door just to hear the music on certain levels play continuously. Love this OST.
I feel the same way about Contra Shattered Soldier. I still crank that music when I'm driving.
jcoptimus What? Did he just...?
the nostalgia is real
TheBoss0957 Ghost!
What? Cant a Ghost listen to some music?
TheBoss0957 Sure u Can! I just finished the game today! C.O.D best games! take care!
You too.
Please, please, please Konami.
Bring back awesome games like these!
Don't Just Bring It Back REMASTER IT!
The soundtrack by itself isnt enough. You need that machine gun fire, bullet hit/ricochet, bomb fall whistle and explosion sounds to accompany it. Especially in boss battles.
LOL i never heard the song with out all that stuff lol.
PlzDontKillDave so you never play contra yet ?o.0
No i have countless times... just never really focused on the music.
No, the only thing you need is the S
Nah. These beats are epic.
Best 8bit game.
River City Ransom tho... :D
*One of the best 8 bit games.
Ahh contra, the 8-bit Call of Duty brings back somany memories.

Dime que es mejor que rambo y butch contra los xenomorfos???
first real action game ever!
Jungle is so nice they used it twice, but the Base theme gets my heart pumping and the Alien's Lair piece is a fitting and tense theme for a final confrontation.
Takes me back. it's hard to believe how good these guys made 8-bit sound!
I want to play this so bad now... this game used to be everything

Suddenly the Jungle soundtrack hopped into my mind & I tried to Google it, & almost jump from my chair when I found this vid.
Thanks a bunch! U made my day~
Que nostalgia que recuerdos ya estamos viejos
I Can dare to say that this was one of the most games that i played in my life i like that soundtrack.. and i can't forget this game i remember when i played this i was too viced to this game i just remember that i wanted to get up at 4:00 Am to play this game..

When you heard that title screen tune on a Friday night you knew it was about to kick ass..
WTF is wrong with the current generation, I feel sorry for the 23 kids that had to dislike this video.
Tom Clancy , why ?
+Vijay Kumar cause dey don't know how great we had it and the epic feelings and times we had back in the 80s!
@my middle name my goodbye fuck you kid. Go run off to your mommy and play your puny games.
Best game soundtrack of all time.
This is the best soundtrack/video, love how you time stamped it so you can skip around!! Great shit!!! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
When I was a little kid and my babysitter would come, we would play this game. It was her favorite. Awesome babysitter is definitely awesome ;)
One of my favorite childhood games
Just Hearing that First Beat of this Song hit brought so much Joy to me bac in those days, and still does. If you was a 80's baby, U kno how i feel : )
I remember when I was playing with a friend every day! so much nostalgia :')
those are the dislikes that I will never undestad in my life. How do you guys ended up here listening to a contra song?
Loved my fantastic childhood with memories of this great game
Seriously one of the best games ever made. I still play this bad boy.
Stage 6, traumatized me for life
Olaaaa
one of the few games I actually remember beating multiple times. great game. and this soundtrack is just plain rad!
This is the awesomest cover ever! Arnold from Predator, Stallone from Rambo, and a disembodied golden Alien (Xenomorph) head!
who ever did these beats was way ahead of their time....FIre!
For some reason, when I'm at a loss at what to listen to, I strangely find myself listening to this everytime :)
thanks so much for posting this!!!!! It really takes me back to getting my ass handed to me 24/7! One of the best game of its time.
The Base theme is pure kickass in many ways....Contra remains and will always be the best action game of all time.
Awesome music for an awesome game. I used to worship "Contra." I'm still a big fan of Contra, Super Contra and "Operation C." Legendary stuff!!!! Thanks for posting!
está genial la musica, lo escucho en 2018 y me recuerda mi infancia, vivan siempre los videojuegos
this is probably the best co-op game ever. If only games today had the difficulty like contra did then games would actually be a challenge to complete
3:01 trailer music for sure. Love it
Love Contra and Castlevania music, nice! Great videos, thx so much!!
best game and music ever!! thx for upload :)
austin532 you are going straight to heaven!
thanks for posting this fine piece of art!!
great fu**ng music!!!!
Thanks. I was time stamping my soundtracks way before RUclips added that feature.
I could jam to the melody at 1:30 all day every day! YEAHHHHH!!!!
3:02 to 4:04 Is one of my faverite songs in any game. Its so epic!
Man. I played this game nearly as much as I played MegaMan. Again, thanks for bringing me back. :D
Never owuld have made it without the 30 lives code. I guess I'm nothing like those guys on the cover. :(
This makes me want to play the game again and again!
The Stage Clear always gets me... awesome...
Castlevania1, 2, 3, 4, 5, DraculaX and Symphony of the Night (saturn version if you want the entire game bosses and stages) are perfect examples of very very good music in 2d games
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!! too good...no words to describe
its a nice memory. thank you
Super Contra soundtrack can also be uploaded. Awesome music like this
Nice thx for uploading!
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start
That code carried me through the first couple months of owning the game. I was an 8-year old who mowed lawns and saved every penny to get Contra.

Oh this brings me back man. This is one of the games apart from Mario that I can really remember from the NES. Awesome stuff.
5:10 I can still hear those whistling grenade noises in my head.
Hoy en día.. y por mucho el mejor juego de shooter...de nintendo..
Y su soundtrack increíble..
👍👌
I'm playing this on guitar along with the chiptune and jesus, you have to be just as precise as in the game!
Look at the art of that cartridge. OK, that's a legend.
Love them :D hearing these after so many years :D love it.
energy zone always got me psyched!

I noticed you like Video Game Music.
Gamer guy You should get a raspbery pi and put the emulator on it.

SUCH MEMORIES RIGHT NOW
Hey man, I am 15 and I enjoy the hell out of this game.
Brings back memories. :D
Rambo + Major Dutch = Contra Baby!!!
Mission accomplish........They don't make timeless classic NES music like this anymore.
This is so nostalgic :D
My first and best game in my life since 15 years ago xD
The bass lines in nes music are always awesome lol
yea this game was awesome!!! I played it when I was 5
So fuckin epic....I remember playing it with my best friend all the time when we were kids.
Impressive!! I loved that game :-D

SO GOOD
best idea ever, they should atleast make a cartoon it with the characters looking just like them, that would be awesome.
best nes soundtrack ever
This game rocks
I LOVE this music. =)
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, select, start.
snow field the best
To be honest, I managed to beat the game like twice maybe three times.
Now Im proud of it.
The pulse of each stage is the best..
