    I did, about 5 years ago. It took a long time but it's very doable if you have the patience to see it through.

    If you think it’s that bad, it’s gonna be a rude awakening finding out how many people cruise through this game. It’s just memorization

      >It's just memorization
      So is 99% of the NES' library
      You see Arcus breeze through Ninja Gaiden 50 times in a row, it looks like the easiest task ever.
      Doesn't mean he didn't spend thousands of hours on that "memorization" process, it's still hard as frick even if it's just memorization, is my point

        It’s like 13-15 minutes of memorization. That hardly qualifies as hard as frick

          That's moronic logic. go beat Casio Mario World then, it's only about 15 minutes deathless

    I did when I was a kid. I have no idea how. I'm not anywhere near as good at this game as I used to be. I swear I beat this game with no continues no codes when I was around ten years old.

    Yeah, it took me about 4 hours. I did Super C the day after and it also took me about 4 hours.
    I would consider it a below average-difficulty FC game.
    The only thing I had to learn was the stage 6 boss in Contra 1. Take your time in the hangar. Level design in Super is a bit more involved, but even the final boss can be beaten without moving. Those things that pop out I think on stage 6 (the top down one) are annoying, you can lose powerups there.

    I've beaten Contra and Super C on NES and Operation C on Game Boy without dying once. Can't say the same for any other Contra game. Btw, Hard Corps > III.

    I eventually beat it without dying once. Yet I can’t beat Tiny Toons

      That's because Tiny Toons NES is fricking impossible.

        Never beat it as a kid (only got to Wacky Land on a good day), but came back and finished it years ago. Along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the other game I played a ton and never finished back in the day.

    Yeah. It's a short game as well so eventually you'll get through it if you persist.

    If you used the code or even worse the spread gun then you didn't beat the game.

      Because it’s the Konami code not the contra code. Works in other games. Also we played so much goddamn contra

    Yeah it's just about learning the game. I made a save state at the start of each level and loaded it whenever I died then I'd keep going through the level until I could do it without dying.

    After a few times you've just learned the levels and it's a short game so it really doesnt take long. That's basically what the process would be if you didn't use save states too it would just take a lot longer.

    Yes, I did this year. It is about memorization but it's still the hardest game I've ever beaten. I get bored and frustrated with most NES games but the perfect controls in this one kept me coming back.

      you have a distorted view from being a tryhard gaymer, an 8 stage obstacle course where death is always on screen and you can only get hit maybe 10 times, that is 'hard' at a minimum.

    Yeah, it's actually not too bad. Short game so it's easy to memorize most of it. Beat final stage of my first try without memorization. Close call but satisfying when I pulled it off. I was actually testing out recording at the time, so I have a video of the first time I beat it.

    Any normalgay shitplayer can beat Nezz Contra.

    The real challenge is 1cc'ing Hard Corps (the OG US version, not the babbyfied Jap one).

    Back in the 80s and still to this day due to some memorization of patterns/behaviors and the "S" spread shot weapon. Even without going for a no death run, one can score enough to gain a few extra chances in the course of a playthough with a couple deaths.

    Yes age 11 maybe? My friend and I played this so much we just stopped using the code eventually. I am pretty positive we did a run where one of us never died and they other died once.
