I just can't figure out how they pulled that out... Tools we have today didn't exist back then, and even today, giving it a shot using a modern game engine is still very challenging, especially on the design side... all the patterns and details everywhere are amazing. Nearly every enemies are joint sprites animations... they probably had tools for that, but seeing few game pulling that kind of technology shows how hard it was to get there. Working on these consoles wasn't easy, programming them was very expensive, you had to be very knowledgable of the limitations and they couldn't probably afford to throw away work so often because of bad decisions... how do you work in these conditions? How do you envision, in team, something this good, without being able to fail fast? These developpers were outstandingly skilled at game and level design, in a non internet era. Pretty sure the team behind this game was moslty composed of seniors. I'd love to know more.
I remember back in the 90's, I was with a friend, and he told me: "I have Contra, wanna play?" and we played Contra Hard Corps for the Genesis (the most common console over here at that time) and I remember choosing Fang not knowing anything about the game, he told me: "choose Fang" (knowing that was the hardest character to learn but could be the best one if learned). I remember getting killed by that mechanical spider and also that giant robot at 2:00 used to scare the shit out of me, specially the first time, that effect was so good for it's time. I remember not getting far into the game but he actually made it far. Recently, as an adult I have beaten it with all characters and all endings, but only once 1cc. This is the best Contra ever made
They really went all-out with this game, huh? Michael bay explosions, beautiful animated scenarios, fast pacing while still manageable, rotating sprites, coller-than-cool spundtrack, it's got everything!
I like the credits' screen for this route. The disgruntled look on Ray tells he has saved the world but the battle still rages on in his head as he rides home.
I was a SNES kid and played C 3 the alien wars ALL THE TIME! It was one of my favorite games! How have I never heard of this game?! The blast processing is blowing my mind! Great game! Im gonna have to pick up a used cart!
He did say blast processing, so he already knew it was on Genesis. I think used cartridges for this game are a little pricey, but if it's too much, you could consider getting the Contra Anniversary Collection, which is on various consoles and PC.
@@arronmunroei think I will not buying the contra collection because it is really a painful game you will get killed because it's unknown fast movement and bullet🤣
They don't say that the studio Treasure was formed out of ex-Konami employees for nothing. This game's graphics, gimmicks, bosses, gameplay and music are impressive! And the amount of "blast processing" being utilised between the Super NES and the Mega Drive never actually mattered (because the SNES is more advanced in hardware and release 2 years after the Mega Drive, which was a retool of the Master System).
No Treasure guys worked on that title. A guy at Treasure aknowledged that, I dont recall where though (probably on hardcoregamer.com). It seemed obvious given the comparable qualities between Contra HC and Gunstar Heroes. Both games are beyond expected limits on a 16 bits console. Well, maybe blast processing didn't mattered much, but still, the only title on SNES I can recall of trying to compete with this level of madness was Super Turican 2. And as I recall, it's not as intense.
Dislikes are for too powerful main character and weak opponents and enemies,enemy's bullets are like fartsa but Contra's are too speedy and powerful,there is disbalance
Wait hold on, you're disliking the video because you don't like the game? Am I interpreting this right? You know that only screws over the RUclipsr playing this right?
Captain Turrican yeah, imagine enemies shooting homing missiles and lasers across the screen like main character does, this would be awesome and balanced!
wish i knew the dash gives u some invincibility back on the day wen i played these game and it would it had made things easier for me, really hate the train stage boss
When I got a Kid, I want him/she play retro games first before modern games.. Teach em the meaning of "HARD" before they get to "EASY".. Like SNES, SEGA, PS1& GAMEBOY to PS2, XBOX AND other PS
@ 11:30 It was about that time that I noticed the Girl Scout was about 8 stories tall, and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic era. He said, “I need about three fitty.
I swear I vividly remember this game just being called "Contra Corps" when I had it as a kid. I think somebody altered the timeline. That or my mom just bought me a second-hand cart with a fucked up label, lol.
Fun fact you probably already know: In single player, the dialogue at the start of level 2 reads "we'll never get there on time" which could be passable, until you realize in two-player mode it reads "I'll never get there on time" and they coded it backwards.
I love this saga, It's another one of my favorites. Before I told you which are my favorite games of the Lode Runner series, now I will tell you what are my favorite games of this saga: 5- Super C (NES) 4- Contra 3 (SNES) 3- Contra 4 (Nintendo DS) 2- Contra Shattered Soldier (PlayStation 2) 1- Contra Hard Corps (Sega Genesis) I've also seen that you've made a video of a game that looks a lot like these: ruclips.net/video/-tLU__Vlf5M/видео.html
Fantastic, I'll wait with great pleasure. Of course I have also played other games in this series like Contra (NES) and Neo Contra (PlayStation 2). I like them but not so much. I've never played Contra Rebirth (Wii) and Operation C (Game Boy), but I would love to try them.
Based on the replay files I made trying to beat the game on one life, it looks like it took roughly 6 hours divided between two days, which might sound like a lot, depending on your perspective. It's worth noting that I had played this game more than once over the years before I tried to do this, although this was generally not a path I did when I played it. I consider this to be the most difficult path, partly because of the spider boss near the end.
@@komangpradnyana939 The robot is featured in my 2 player videos of this game, but it's still the same character for player 1. My main goal was just to beat the game on a single life and I stuck with the character who I considered to be the easiest to use. There are lots of videos with those characters by other people, at least.
path B eh? I always chose path A (finished it hundreds of time), fight to the death assuming that path B will lead to game over. Path B, here I come...
+MrSoftwizard You would need to use either Gens or HazeMD++. Most people use Gens, but if you want save state support online, you would need to use HazeMD++.
This game has too many mini bosses and bosses very close to each other and not enough actual level imo. Basically, I'd liket the levels to be longer before reaching the various bosses because it feels more like a boss rush, which I'm actually not a huge fan of personally (unless it's just an optional bonus mode), than a proper fleshed out run 'n' gun game to me. Not that all the bosses aren't often very cool in their own right, because they absolutely are. I just want more than boss rush.
I don't believe the paths were officially labeled. If you are referring to the one seen in this video, which I called Path B, after the first boss, rescue the research center, and then choose to surrender after stage 4. If you wanted the path that I called Path C, which is shown in a different video, then rescue the research center, and then choose "fight to the end" after beating stage 4.
Lo he probado en mi pc y en mi cel, pero lamentablemente la jugabilidad de Contra 4 se ve un poco... rapida. Y esto es en verdad lamentable, porque primero; se trata de un juego de una reconocida marca como lo es la Konami, y segundo; porque se trata de la Sega Genesis, la cual considero (detras de la snes) una muy buena consola de 16 bits..

Beautiful parallax
1:58 One of my favorite instances of space-saving graphic tricks. That car is perfectly symmetrical front and back.

Ahhhhhhh man what gamers you know to forget a classic such as this.i miss that game
I owned a Genesis and had no idea Contra and Castlevania were on it! Man I missed out.
@rockman fan Yeah... Thanks to people selling those on eBay.
Wow... that is some damn rad Theatrics... :D
This game is the reason I became a better gamer today. Those fast and demanding test of reflexes pushed child me's gamer soul to the limits
Where did you come from where did you go, where did you come from Deadeye Joe?
Browny is my fav character in this game lol. Classic memories! SEGA GENESIS PEEPS WHERE YOU AT?
You can still purchase the 16bit game online.
I like the credits' screen for this route. The disgruntled look on Ray tells he has saved the world but the battle still rages on in his head as he rides home.
Those bosses just love lego and aerobic, they 're innocent!
I was a SNES kid and played C 3 the alien wars ALL THE TIME! It was one of my favorite games! How have I never heard of this game?! The blast processing is blowing my mind! Great game! Im gonna have to pick up a used cart!
this game is on sega genesis please read the title it already written on it.
He did say blast processing, so he already knew it was on Genesis.
I think used cartridges for this game are a little pricey, but if it's too much, you could consider getting the Contra Anniversary Collection, which is on various consoles and PC.
@@arronmunroei think I will not buying the contra collection because it is really a painful game you will get killed because it's unknown fast movement and bullet🤣
This game is hard as hell though, just a heads up! It makes C3 the Alien Wars look easy, if that's possible, at least to me.
This was seriously better than the SNES release
@iFort totally right!! (except you can also stand still when shooting diagonally in alien wars too)
Oh, my sweet childhood. I love to watch beast Machines
I love how over-the-top nutty a lot of these bosses are. Mostly the mechanical ones.

This Contra title has to be the toughest one. Even on co-op my cousin and I struggled.
No I think Contra III Alien Wars was way more tougher
Such an amazing action game , Creativity and Imaginations at peak level !
damn. 1080p60fps looks amazing. looks like pixel perfect image.
I thought I was a badass when I found the fighting arena secret with the little robot guy.
Le bon jeu bourrin des annees 90 ! Que des bons souvenirs !
All time favorite game.
Thank you to fresh our old memories 😭
Man I wish I could play some of this right now !!
Why Those Dislikes?... your gameplay is amazing
Dislikes are for too powerful main character and weak opponents and enemies,enemy's bullets are like fartsa but Contra's are too speedy and powerful,there is disbalance
Wait hold on, you're disliking the video because you don't like the game? Am I interpreting this right? You know that only screws over the RUclipsr playing this right?
Gabriel Escalada no kidding there will always be haters always !
Captain Turrican yeah, imagine enemies shooting homing missiles and lasers across the screen like main character does, this would be awesome and balanced!
dislikes are from little fortnite scrubs
one of the hardest contra games ever, even harder than snes Contra III imo.
THE Best Contra of all time.❤ Judge me.
Ni xbox ni ps4 pudieron mejorar esta saga...juegazoo!!
i can say only on word " AMAZING"
wish i knew the dash gives u some invincibility back on the day wen i played these game and it would it had made things easier for me, really hate the train stage boss
and kid's of todays thinks cuphead is hard
this game easy clap
I mean.... The first minute is fucking epic! 🤣 Just busted in and laid down the fuckin' law!
This is what we do in Sao Paulo daily
My first contra Was the firts versión, of supernintendo... Played this game in Sega 16 bits is amazing whit nine years old!!
When I got a Kid, I want him/she play retro games first before modern games.. Teach em the meaning of "HARD" before they get to "EASY".. Like SNES, SEGA, PS1& GAMEBOY to PS2, XBOX AND other PS
Same here, respect for the 2 of you
Whoever is on the controls... You are epic!
WE NEED MORE EXPLOSIONS!
Soundtracks amazing
Holy shit! this game is like Contra 3 in steroids! why i din't knew about it? im going to drop it on my snes mini NOW!
Not for Snes...
sorry but nintendont ;)
@ 11:30 It was about that time that I noticed the Girl Scout was about 8 stories tall, and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic era. He said, “I need about three fitty.
I remember this game, it was pretty hard, I couldn't even destroy that 2nd robot at the beginning
Now thats how you start a game just ram the truck and bust ya guns

2- Contra Shattered Soldier (PlayStation 2)
1- Contra Hard Corps (Sega Genesis)
I've also seen that you've made a video of a game that looks a lot like these:
ruclips.net/video/-tLU__Vlf5M/видео.html
Of those games, the only one I haven't played through is Contra 4. I'll make a video of Shattered Soldier someday.
Fantastic, I'll wait with great pleasure.
Of course I have also played other games in this series like Contra (NES) and Neo Contra (PlayStation 2). I like them but not so much.
I've never played Contra Rebirth (Wii) and Operation C (Game Boy), but I would love to try them.
they are 4 more alternate ending which total 5 different ending
Wow. One of the first games to use the "D" word.
Bro ur pro in that game the Sega genesis is my favourite and all the games in that
I love this game and I think it’s way better than Contra 3 AW
this was the first ending I beat when playing as a kid
If you still don’t know about bob the robber game on hud games, you should try it now to catch up with people around you since everyone’s into it.
I have never played this version :(
CONTRA HARD CORPS

Where's the other 3? Damn i miss this game so much!!! Contra is my fav sega game
Other 3 what? If you mean the paths, I did play all of them, but not in one video.
@@arronmunroe the 3 othet player dude, i'd like to see FANG, the little robot and the girl play, especially their weapons 😎
@@komangpradnyana939 The robot is featured in my 2 player videos of this game, but it's still the same character for player 1.

I see, nice video btw, keep on posting good stuff
i love thia videoooo

I heard that JP version is little easy than this version ( Because it have life and invincible during sliding in that version )
Yep I own a copy of the Japanese version
I.kept rewinding to read the captions
17:20 Moment Contra Alien Wars EX Advanced
I hope there's a BLUETOOTH Support version on all RASPBERRY PIE Handhelds where you can use 2 Player mode.
I can't even beat the first level of this game
path B eh? I always chose path A (finished it hundreds of time), fight to the death assuming that path B will lead to game over. Path B, here I come...
Keep in mind there is also path D if you go after Deadeye Joe at the end of stage 1 and then choose to surrender at that later stage.
Michael Bay was liked.
Can this fella do ALL 6 ENDINGS like that?
I did 5 of them, but I didn't bother with the ending where you join Bahamut, although that adds no additional challenge anyways.
Welcome to the club homie!!!
Nice game!
How can i play online with a friend?
+MrSoftwizard You would need to use either Gens or HazeMD++. Most people use Gens, but if you want save state support online, you would need to use HazeMD++.
Well first, get a friend, then....
You can use parsec!
Well played I wanna contra game
