The expendables of the time. Great game, although half the fun was switching characters all the time to see what abilities you could use to your favorite. This game was gonna be released as Arc Hound for Japan but was delayed so much that it was released as a North American exclusive. Easier than all Contras, but nonetheless one of my favorites in the series.
Despite being a bit laggy, just looking at it I can say it doesn't deserve the hate, it's doing lots of cool fun stuff for an NES title! Fantastic graphics, great music, creative set pieces, very interactable scenario, 2 gameplay modes, multiple characters with unique sprites... Maybe it's not as tight as the other Contras, but if this were the only one, it would be an undisputed classic. Either way it's always stood out from the rest for me because of the things it does
This was my most desired game ever! That soundtrack brings back dear old 1995 when we used to play it nights away... I couldn't find it in stores when I most needed it. Only years later when NES emulators came up, I managed to play it again on a PC.
OH it was Contra Force, I didn't know the name of this game till now. All I remembered was "Beans" and the four player mode and wondered what this game was since
One of my top 3 games at the time. I remember I used to beat the game over and over again just to hear the music right after you beat the final boss. I though it's the best music from a video game back then.
Out of all contra games this one is my favorite one. I used to play this game on repeat and second stage sound track is my favorite sound track of this game. I just love this game.
10:08 I remember the time when that crate on top wouldn't reset everytime I fell back down (It was glitch with my version of the game I guess). It used to piss me off, and I had to restart the game. However, my friend and I found out one day that u can jump, pause the game, and jump again to past through that part. This brings back memories.
My childhood is coming back to me! My late grandmother had a ton of these games laying about when I was a youngster, one of them happened to be this one. I never got past the the third stage because I wasn't sure as to how the elevator worked, but it was still fun to play. The first level of this game will always be my favourite in terms of enjoyment, soundtrack, background scenes, and gameplay elements. I wish I still had the gaming system I used to play this on. I miss it so much.
I remember playing this with a friend of mine. I was the leader (blue guy) and also had the bazooka man, he played with red using mainly missiles and also had the bomb guy. Great game, great fun ! The good ol' days.
I miss my innocent childhood days,where I didn’t had to stress about anything and just enjoy life playing video games with my siblings .... Ohhh how I wish I could go back to the old good days ...
It's 2008 , you came back from school , you did set up game console attached remote and started playing this game while having your lunch Missing those days
First game to feature destructible environment!!!, really love this game, the modern urban setting, the music, the action set pieces, you cant find a game where you chase the final boss through building even today , I remember finishing this game so many times when thinking that maybe there is a different ending!!!after all those years, this situation ended with several things left unsolved!!!
There are much heavier games in both graphics and soundtracks (Batman - Return ok Joker). This slowness seems to be deliberate. Edit: Oops. Thinking better. Slowness is not purposeful. maybe it's a lack of optimization or those extra features that they put in some cartridges for some heavier games.
@@jugg9140 Depends on the region. In PAL it's 50, in NTSC it's 60. Of course if it starts lagging when there's too much stuff happening (or the code is written badly) it starts dropping to 30, or 20, 15...
stage 3 was the most difficult for me. First you had to kill the 3 enemies and time the weight to catapult you up then the rope climbing jump, for which the rope itself was mostly out of the screen literally making you think what to do next. I was stuck for months because of this stage. Thank you for uploading
On stage one you can stand on gate marked with a number 17 pointing up and hit select or pause (I don't remember which one) and you would get an almost unlimited lives. It worked for me.
Contra force was fire. I beat it a couple times. It really wasn't supposed to be a contra game, It was called ARC HOUND but they scrapped the name and it became a spinoff of the contra series.
I remember renting this game as a kid with a friend. My mom got us tacobell drive through first or McDonald's. We were amazed how big the characters were on the screen. The game is hard. I don't think I've ever beat the first level.
I don't know how but I got casset of this game from someone and that casset have four of the best games and one game was this .........I used to play this all day with my brother and in double player there is a hack in which all the 4 characters have 17 lives each and we used to try it always sometimes it happened sometimes it didn't...... Because it gets so easy when you get 17 lives for each player and you can play 1 player mode even in 2 player mode by just disabling it in setting of this game......Truly advanced game of that time and most loved.....
As kids, we couldn't afford computer games and video games were our paradise. Playing contra in friends home or borrowing friends 3in1 or 4in 1 cassette for a day or two were greatest fantasies. This video took back in time to our childhood

Contra force looks so awesome, I wish Konami would of released this game as part of the contra collection. This is the only classic contra game I'm missing
I played it on Dendy and it wasn’t that slow. However, thanks for bringing back some amazing feelings. The sounds are legendary and will come to my mind from time to time till I die.
The game itself is alright I guess, but the problem with it is that they half hazardly slapped the Contra name on it when it wasn’t supposed to be a Contra game at all.

It’s basically Konami’s equivalent of Street Fighter 2010, which wasn’t supposed to be a Street Fighter game either. It’s a shame too because these games probably would’ve been remembered a little more fondly if they simply didn’t try to cheap out and didn’t have faith in their own more original and newer projects. I get that they wanted them to appeal to a wider audience who is already familiar with those games, but *come on,* it’s like trying to slap the Mario brand on a FPS.

Hi
Yeah pal! 👏🏻👏🏻
This was the favorite version of Contra for me, loved the music 😍
Me too bro
Contra force was just unique
Definitely the music 👍🏻
Here
This like Contra Fuse wiht Gradius so it hits different from the previous Contra game.
Somehow, Contra Force was my most loved ever, despite its slowness compared to the other ones.
I love it too. I don't care about slowness at all.
Yes, somehow the slowness felt good too. It's all about the timing still. So, it didn't matter much.
Media Matters
Way better than contra hard corps!
@The Jolly DJ See a psychiatrist, please.
It's not even a real Contra game, they just slapped the name on it. It's garbage.
19 years have passed bit it feels like yesterday ...these are not just games these are emotions.. NES was something more craving than Drugs.
True
The soundtrack is probably my most favourite in all NES games
Contra Force an Ninja Gaiden 2 have the best Soundtracks on NES
Mega Man?!
@@LeafyPeach subjective opinions?
Double dragon 2 final boss theme and mighty final has good themes also.
Double Dragon 3 and Mighty Final Fight for me.

Stage 1 soundtrack is my ringtone. I'm 29 and I grew up playing this. I absolutely love this game.❤️
In my case its the last one.especially with the opening "broken glass sound effect"
damn, my favorite game when i was a kid!
joeyxo yeah really our childhood
Never got to the last stage
火男 i finished this game when i was only 10 years old lol
@@chaomanking2050 very good
Mine too.
I just downloaded it for PC
This Contra was one of my favorite... It was tough also compare to other contra... Nostalgia 😍
hi
Yes bro !
imho, this was the easiest compared to others but the graphics and idea was so coool!
Technically it was the best contra ever made
You haven't played Alien Wars then.
Some games cannot be replaced forever !!!❤️

@@dedli_midisome, yeah
@@dedli_midithe laggy and glitch is
i used to exploit this game by jumping and pausing, jumping and pausing, jumping and pausing, you could go as high as it was possible
Michael Colun or shoot at sky and pause
damn easy infinite health
Michael Colun same here
Me too and the 40 lives cheat too.
I dont know how we got that Idea, we did that when we were younger
Me too😊
this game has amazing soundtrack!!!
8-bit music was the best imo
And low FPS :)
When Frankenstein was just a kid hahahahaha
Fully agreed
The only good thing
The airplane plane level was just awesome. Never seen anywhere 😂
Yes... and even its music was so good.

I'd keep saying their names like a mantra. Burns, Beans, Iron, Smith!
15 years ago I used to play this game in my childhood whole day 😢
Contra, Super C and Contra Force... all my favorite shooters of all time! #Classic
SAMeeee !! FOR ME TOO
you didn't like operation c?

that's a beautiful memory since i was 8-9 i believe. Cool game indeed for 1998-2000 or so. Thank you so much for recording this. Cheers !
you just bring the memories back dude thank you
When we were kids we use to play and watching someone play also gave us so much of happiness. Gosh those day🎉
How did I miss this game when I was a kid? Contra and Super Contra were my favorite nes games.

I had blurry memories of this game, and I finally founded!!! after so many years haha Thanks
Эта игра с детства , добрые и крутые ощущения как будто это было вчера хотя пошло много лет, игра супер автор молодец!!!
I loved this game so much
Unforgettable
First game to feature destructible environment!!!, really love this game, the modern urban setting, the music, the action set pieces, you cant find a game where you chase the final boss through building even today , I remember finishing this game so many times when thinking that maybe there is a different ending!!!after all those years, this situation ended with several things left unsolved!!!
Naw, you must never owned a commodore 64. Raid over Moscow
This definitely should've been included in the Contra Collection from awhile back.
My love for my past gfs might have ended,, but for this game it never ends. I still remember every brick and nostalgic music this game provides.
Contra force is one of the amazing n oustanding game. I used to play it lot in 2002. Miss 2002
I can never forget that plane to plane boarding while wind dragging player to the right..
You've smashed all the cool games I tried as a kid and more. I don't remember getting very far in this game at all
its been more than 25years I played this game in my childhood and I was in 4th standard....woww...why world got changed so much..... memories...
this game had actually reached the limit of NES. The fps is so low
i thought the slow was part of the game lol, so how much fps does nes give? and how much fps is this game?
There are much heavier games in both graphics and soundtracks (Batman - Return ok Joker). This slowness seems to be deliberate.
Edit: Oops. Thinking better. Slowness is not purposeful. maybe it's a lack of optimization or those extra features that they put in some cartridges for some heavier games.

This was the best Contra game I loved to play
love the cutscenes and character animation. Never knew about this game back in the day. For decades I thought there was just 1 contra for the nes
don't forget ''super c''
15 years past when i play this game ....ohhh i see my childhood ....damn time goes so fast .....my goddd.......
26 years passed n this game i remember each n everything. Btw my fav was Billy
For twenty years my dumbass was thinking this game was called Contra Four.

One of my favorite cartridge when I was a kid. A red 4 in 1 catridge that had new contra, contra force, final mission and kage on it.
feeling nostalgic.
Remember how many hours i played this game.
I used to ask my friend to give this game to play since i didn't have this contra ..finally he gave me to play..it was my favorite game
This game and Guerilla War was my favorite games 25 years ago
The very last game I ever rented for my NES before I got an SNES for Christmas back in 1992.
I never knew this game full name. Even now when i searched for it i typed "contra Burns"
It may not actually be a real Contra game but the music was remixed for Contra Rebirth on Wii
I remember the events of this game unfolding on the news in 1992. Neocity has never been the same since.
Wow I love the music 🎶 of this game. This is an unforgettable game experience.
Moreeee in 12 years I’m searching this game just because to listen to trick music 🎵 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
