The all time favorite Konami run 'n' gun classic has been revamped in the new 8BS mix, enjoy this OST with improved quality (less echo/verb), text, and visual background: ruclips.net/video/4eWEOFazzU4/видео.html
Indeed, they had a cool lil jingle for there games in the SNES era, certainly didn't match Capcom's, but they would have topped it if they had that theme.
Still have the same copy of this game that I had during my childhood. Everything from the gameplay, to the games visuals, to its soundtrack, was addicting.
I thought it was a hard game when I first played it around 7 years old. Then later I could beat the game without the Konami code, and sometimes without losing a life. Super C is a far more difficult game.
I've said it back when I was young and I'll still say that a Contra movie with Arnold and Sylvester should've been made, I guess The Expendables will be closest thing
Ryuujin1078 haha that would have been cool but it could have faced issues. I mean it has that character based off arnold from predator and slyvester stallone from rambo. also that alien in the background is clearly ALIEN. in my opinion it was mostly inspired by predator and alien.
No man Ikari Warriors was the Commando/Rambo game...with the mother fucking pink tanks and scrotum guns.......where did the hair go?!! Sing it with me!!
The guys on the cover of this game are Stylvester Stallone and Dolf Lundgren. The enemy characters are clearly taken from H.R. Giger's art world, which Alien appropriated. There are tons of Contra movies - this game derived most of its concepts from existing movies.
i was looking for something to listen to before going to sleep, now i feel totally energized. Don't listen amazing 8 bit music if you gonna sleep, it just pumps you up
My friends and I used to get into fist fights over this game when we were kids; trying to strangle each other with the controller cords and the like. Dude stole the spread gun and died with it. I left his ass behind on the waterfall.
Best music on the NES. These songs are not just some 30 second loops but are fully fleshed out instrumentals. The composer went way harder than he had to to our benefit!
Great game, gave you so much frustration until you mastered it. I go back and beat it a few times per year, love it! You know you got good at it when you don't have to use the 30 man code anymore. This and Contra III are my favorite Contra games. Hearing the music brings back so many memories. Great era
born 1987, I'm a master of this game, vile red falcon stands no chance. Nintendo had the best systems, and is still the leader in the evolution of video game Technology. No other system or company can match the power, ideas,or history of the technological super giant. 30+ years and still has the most famous characters in the video game industry, the most memorable music, was the pioneer for cheat codes, the portable gameboy, motion sensor technology, and even virtual gaming, and is still successfully selling merchandise from 30 year old games.super Mario and MegaMan are still household names. even Playstation jumped on the bandwagon, mimicking Nintendo wii's motion sensor technology. In my opinion Nintendo is unrivaled, even by the 3D monsters XBox and PS. A prime example, nobody talks about crash bandicoot, oddworld, spyro,etc. anymore (if anyone ever did), yet the entire world still knows, loves, and plays Super Mario, despite it being way older. Just goes to show that Nintendo's ideas are so innovative, superb, and long lasting, that they captivated the minds of millions, and branded a new super standard of gaming on the ass of the industry. NINTENDO, NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER!!!
The guy on the left look like Arnold on the promotional poster of Predator. Just imagine Dutch and Rambo on an island full of ''Cobras'', ''Decepticons'' and Xenomorph from Aliens. This is what i call a man game. :D Yeah!!! KABOOOOMM!!!!!
Maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!!!!!! This list/channel takes me way back! I remember when these games were brand new! Good stuff, man! Great mixing, too! Keep it up!

Wow! Brings back some great childhood memories. I remember every single song on this game. Loved this soundtrack better that Super C even though Super C was the better game.
Me too, and the music was slowed down for this one, but not the second one. I was surprised to find out you were meant to play as Arnie and Stallone look-alikes and not robots. Such a fun game. Clocked it a few times with my bro. :)
I love how you put the game themes like this for contra bad ass I feel old I was only two when this game came out I remember watching my older brother beat this game without cheats and I beat it when I got a little older contra one the best games ever made
My cousin used to say "Mmmm--ch--ka--ka" with each bridge explosion, on the first stage.. for some reason is was hilarious because we were apparently very easily amused as children.
I remember playing this in the late 80's ( I was 4 yrs old when this game came out). Even remember the contra code since that time too. Wow I feel old.
Classic ost to a classic game. I wish Konami would just make one more Classic Contra game. Ive been waiting since Contra 4 on the ds and Contra rebirth on the wii.
lol you're probably correct. I got so excited when I heard this because I haven't listen to it in such a long time but some other memorable tunes for me would include: Castlevania 2 bloody tears, Ninja Gaiden 1 Seeking Truth, Captain Tsubasa Kojiro Hyuga's Theme, Super Spike V'Ball Daytona Match, Mega Man 2 Dr. Wily's Castle and Ninja Gaiden 2 Tower of Lahja...man the memories
My cousin had that game. I sucked at NES because I didn't have one. But when I visited my cousin (Like, 2 or 3 times a year) I always wanted to play this game. I couldn't beat the 1st level but I still wanted to play.
This was the only game my cousin and I could agree on playing when we visited his family for the holidays back when I was in grade school. Ah memories...
My dad still thinks that's Arnold and Sly on the cover. I remember seeing that cover as a kid and thinking "these guys look familiar" but I never put the 2 together until many years later when my dad gave me his NES. My dad said "how come Arnold and Stallone only made Contra as a video game and not a movie" I had a huge smile on my face when he said that and I said to myself "that's it!"
This shit is awesome(Vanderslice). Contra was the video game for the movie Aliens in my book. 80's kid classic, with Mega man, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, and so on
The cover for contra (and the characters) are thinly veiled ripoffs of Schwarzanegger and Stalone from Predator and Rambo. And the Aliens in the game in the end stage are basically the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies.
The Japanese version of Contra actually had a plot in the game. There was a real intro, there were little 'Stage Clear' images every level you finished and I believe there were other cutscenes, too. The 'Cleared Game' jingle was also different as I'm sure you noticed in the video description.
This music is permanently rooted in my brain like some kind of strange video game witch doctor's curse. I feel the strangest urge right now to try to get some spread shot!
My older sister and I played the crap outta this game on our NES with a friend we lived with in the neighborhood we were in back in the early 1990s who had introduced us to this game. I didn't even know about the Konami Code which would give you thirty lives in the game back then, but I later learned about it when I was in my 20s. Thanks to Contra, the ever so famous Konami Code is burned into my mind.

Clearly Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone should've done the movie.
Rambo and Commando against Aliens...awesome!
Where did the hair go?
expandables
Agree with that Venom
Sorry pal, but alien exterminator is Ellen Ripley. This girl even more badass then both of them!
Nah, those guys are just lookalikes. Who REALLY deserves the credit here is Mr. Xenomorph.
3:36 I can still picture those enemies hopping across the screen. Good times man.....good times.
0:00 should be Konami's theme. Short simple, but you KNOW how badass they are by it.
Indeed, they had a cool lil jingle for there games in the SNES era, certainly didn't match Capcom's, but they would have topped it if they had that theme.
***** True, but the complete intro to Gradius 3 trumped any intro from Capcom on SNES, and that includes the SF franchise.
And then. Hideo kojima happened.
I agree
Konami's theme should be the Zelda NES death sound
Still have the same copy of this game that I had during my childhood. Everything from the gameplay, to the games visuals, to its soundtrack, was addicting.
It really is a great game, but not as hard as people made it out to be.
I thought it was a hard game when I first played it around 7 years old. Then later I could beat the game without the Konami code, and sometimes without losing a life. Super C is a far more difficult game.
***** It took me about 2 days of owning it (Thank You) to beat it in one life.
I've said it back when I was young and I'll still say that a Contra movie with Arnold and Sylvester should've been made, I guess The Expendables will be closest thing
Ryuujin1078 haha that would have been cool but it could have faced issues. I mean it has that character based off arnold from predator and slyvester stallone from rambo. also that alien in the background is clearly ALIEN. in my opinion it was mostly inspired by predator and alien.

One of the best NES soundtracks ever.

Makes you want to fire up that nes
For some strange reason, this version sounds exactly like I remember when i was a child, not like other soundtracks I've heard before. Excellent🎮
I beat this game yesterday! It's the first NES game I've beaten, so far.
nice
You're off to a good start. Be sure to play a few bad games. Always good for perspective.
Great! Now do it without the code!
... so far? What have you been playing? Adventure Island 1, Ghouls and Ghosts?
Congratulations! It's not an easy game to beat!
this brings back memories, Games were so simple back then. A kid now days would be like, how the hell did you play this LOL
+Clara Going Bye Bye yep its the sad thing lol the music quality isn't the same either

Childhood at its best
Thats some greath family values
I remember my cousin and I had lots of fun playing two player games, this was one of many, sadly he's passed on, I'll always cherish those fun times.
Best music on the NES. These songs are not just some 30 second loops but are fully fleshed out instrumentals. The composer went way harder than he had to to our benefit!

nintendo did not make this game. konami did.
The guy on the left look like Arnold on the promotional poster of Predator.
Just imagine Dutch and Rambo on an island full of ''Cobras'', ''Decepticons'' and Xenomorph from Aliens.
This is what i call a man game. :D
Yeah!!! KABOOOOMM!!!!!
Fun Fact: The two characters are modeled after Arnold and Stallone :)
Rishikesh Mishra they should make a Contra Movie with Schwarzenegger and Stallone !
grzesiekromcio
Too late they are just too old for such an epic movie...maybe CGI Arnold and Stallone could do the trick...
Omega Rugal we all saw how that worked out in Terminator: instant reboot recipe!

Almost like it's missing the tap sound of each time you land on the new platform above you.

Snow Field & Energy Zone are my fav's. Epic OST.

@101832268189762130829 yep! And level 2 was alright as well :)
gorgeous game
great game old memories
Schwarzenegger, Stallone and the Alien creature in the background = Contra has the best videogame box art ever made.
Que buen soundtrack !!
Wow! Brings back some great childhood memories. I remember every single song on this game. Loved this soundtrack better that Super C even though Super C was the better game.
Excelente trabajo, lo disfrute mucho, aunque debo aclara que este juego era el Gryzor una mejora del contra para Nintendo
Me too, and the music was slowed down for this one, but not the second one. I was surprised to find out you were meant to play as Arnie and Stallone look-alikes and not robots. Such a fun game. Clocked it a few times with my bro. :)
the boss battle music is just epic!
only bad part about it is it only plays when battling the bosses of stages 1 & 7. others just play the same music.
and 2 and 4. base boss :P
The title screen is one of the most recognizable tracks in all of NES gaming. Amazing what they could do with 8-Bit.
Your my new favorite old game music porter X3.
Daw thanks! ;3
***** OMG YOUR TALKING TO ME *fangirl screams* YOUR SO AWESOME.
***** Excuse my freak out I just love your work so much.
That's all good, and thank you, I enjoy a reaction like this, it makes me feel special for what I do :3
***** You should do the music from super c X3.
I love how you put the game themes like this for contra bad ass I feel old I was only two when this game came out I remember watching my older brother beat this game without cheats and I beat it when I got a little older contra one the best games ever made
Snowfield music is great, my favorite one.
Xenomorph as the final boss. AMAZING!!!
best instrumental metal for 8 bits ever
Excellent way to start your day. or mid day, or end your day.
This game is my childhood, I beat this game with my cousins and listen this now, makes me cry.
Thanks for the music ;)
First 8-bit tune I've ever heard in my life: 0:00.
My cousin used to say "Mmmm--ch--ka--ka" with each bridge explosion, on the first stage.. for some reason is was hilarious because we were apparently very easily amused as children.
I LOVE it that you reply to almost every comment!
CONTRA AND SILIUS WOWWW THE BEST GAMES I STILL PLAYING LOL 2018
estos si son soundtracks :D !!!! hermosa infanciaaa !!!!!!!! Contra 4ever
I always use this game first on equipment to see if it works. Gotta have my original NES functionality.
TOP 5 NES soundtracks!
Up down up down, left right left right, select, start...
So many memories of this game. It's hard to believe a friend who lived close by us introduced us to Contra.
SO EPIC!!! One of my favorite soundtracks! ^_^
I remember playing this in the late 80's ( I was 4 yrs old when this game came out).
Even remember the contra code since that time too. Wow I feel old.
10:07 is the best
Classic ost to a classic game. I wish Konami would just make one more Classic Contra game. Ive been waiting since Contra 4 on the ds and Contra rebirth on the wii.
I'd say it's the most fitting and blood-pumping NES boss theme, it really conveys the fragile one-man army versus an alien invasion feel nicely.
lol you're probably correct. I got so excited when I heard this because I haven't listen to it in such a long time but some other memorable tunes for me would include: Castlevania 2 bloody tears, Ninja Gaiden 1 Seeking Truth, Captain Tsubasa Kojiro Hyuga's Theme, Super Spike V'Ball Daytona Match, Mega Man 2 Dr. Wily's Castle and Ninja Gaiden 2 Tower of Lahja...man the memories
Incredible soundtrack and it fit each level perfectly.
Maybe the best video game soundtrack of the 8bit era... it is simply flawless....
Man, why the boss theme is so damm epic?!
polyrhythms magic..
I don't know Contra, but in my childhood i got its probably indexed version Probotector. Good times
@Raybayize
We in poland on the other hand, didn't knew what the h*ll Probotector is, since we got the USA Contra
@@bartek8309 USA Contra? We've got bootleg Famicon (the in-famous "Pegasus"), and those "500 in 1" catridges
My cousin had that game. I sucked at NES because I didn't have one. But when I visited my cousin (Like, 2 or 3 times a year) I always wanted to play this game. I couldn't beat the 1st level but I still wanted to play.
This was the only game my cousin and I could agree on playing when we visited his family for the holidays back when I was in grade school. Ah memories...
Cheers for the upload :)
Love the boss theme music one the best games ever made
It's the ultimate classic staple of EVERY tru gamer's library.
My dad still thinks that's Arnold and Sly on the cover. I remember seeing that cover as a kid and thinking "these guys look familiar" but I never put the 2 together until many years later when my dad gave me his NES. My dad said "how come Arnold and Stallone only made Contra as a video game and not a movie" I had a huge smile on my face when he said that and I said to myself "that's it!"
That boss music tho
the title screen opening sounds awesome
3:03 settings speed to 0.5 . . . PO U SUM PURP ayyyyyyeee
hahahaha
Nah, set to 1.5 and you get thrash metal.
This shit is awesome(Vanderslice). Contra was the video game for the movie Aliens in my book. 80's kid classic, with Mega man, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, and so on
genio reviviste mi infancia gracias
It's Japan again!!!! I love this country; they are so creative!!!!!
The RP2 sound chip was pushed to its very limits with this game soundtracks, was absolutely superlative for its age.
One of the few games I got to play on NES, loved it!
The cover for contra (and the characters) are thinly veiled ripoffs of Schwarzanegger and Stalone from Predator and Rambo. And the Aliens in the game in the end stage are basically the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies.
My childhood summed up in 2:59
Favorite NES game, such an awesome soundtrack! I can beat this one without dying 😎
Base Theme sounds so annoying that you begin to appreciate how catchy it is! My fav!
Base Theme annoying? That is the very first time I've heard any song in this game be so annoying its catchy, I think it's a great theme :P
What a great soundtrack !
Back in the days of Nes,Sega Genesis,Turbo Grafix 16 & Super Nintendo the good old days of gaming
Badass Game And A Badass OST.
Contra has an introduction?? o.00000 I was always too busy putting in the code to bother....
The Japanese version of Contra actually had a plot in the game. There was a real intro, there were little 'Stage Clear' images every level you finished and I believe there were other cutscenes, too. The 'Cleared Game' jingle was also different as I'm sure you noticed in the video description.
only in japan's version. which also fetures animated palmtrees on jungle stage
And snowfall in Snow Field
Usa version is a prototype??
And jp version is the final version??
This music is permanently rooted in my brain like some kind of strange video game witch doctor's curse. I feel the strangest urge right now to try to get some spread shot!
Mississippi Dave the muaic plays in my mind while playing airsoft and sometimes humming it and myghad it was a lot of fun.
