Contra (video game series)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Bad Export for You: The Famicom version of Contra made use of a custom-made mapper chip (the VRC II) that allowed for the addition of cut-scenes and a map display between stages, as well as animated backgrounds (such as moving palm trees in Stage 1 or falling snowflakes in Stage 5). The NES version, which was released on a standard UNROM mapper (since Nintendo produced all the NES cartridges released in America), lacked all these graphical effects.
  • Port Overdosed: The original game, whether as Contra or Gryzor, is one of Konami's most widespread games, being released on several platforms in the 80s and re-released many times since then.
