So faithful to the spirit of Contra, with new abilities to make it even more chaotic and satisfying. It also features some of the best weapon balance in the series. Such a great blend of old and new. It could be better with online play and a less restricted budget, but for a long time Contra fan, this checks off so many boxes that I can hardly complain.

A compilation of the first four Contra games in their various incarnations including arcade, NES, Super NES, Megadrive and Gameboy as well as the Japanese versions of same. Essential for any Contra fan and a great compilation that includes the two best run & gunners ever: Probotector and Super Probotector: Alien Rebels.

This is a solid collection of classic Contra games. It features the arcade, home console and Japanese versions of Contra, Super C, Alien Wars and Hard Corps. The Game Boy's Operation C is also included. Each title is old-school tough, so it's helpful that they have their own save slot. You can change display options, borders, difficulty levels and the fire rate. Fans will also enjoy the 74 page behind-the-scenes e-book. Overall, I would rate this with an 8.2 out of 10.

Well, since Contra Rogue Corps was all kinds of terrible, it’s nice to see at least one positive piece of Contra representation in the modern day. The Contra Anniversary Collection is a compilation of some of the most intense, difficult, and manly as hell 2D action games you can play. There are 10 games included, about half of which are the Japanese versions of these releases. It’s structured exactly the same as the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, layout and all. All the games run as well as you’d expect, though still keeping the same level of slowdown that each of the games have to endure. The addition of save states does help to alleviate a lot of the frustration that comes with Contra, especially if you plan on playing the North American and European releases of some of these games. Games like Contra III and Hard Corps are absolutely maddening in their English releases, but the Japanese versions still offer cheat codes to make the journey a whole lot more bearable. If you really want some hair on your chest, though, then go for English versions. There are also noticeable titles missing like Legacy of War, **** Soldier and Neo Contra. In spite of the quality of some of those games, it would have been nice to see them get included. Maybe in a second Anniversary Collection, I dunno. The default control settings are also incredibly awkward, and trying to figure out which buttons do what to activate cheat codes can be a huge pain. Once you get that settled and have a buddy to join you, though, it’s well worth it. These games are still fun and butt clenching to this very day. If you were ever thinking of getting into the series this is easily the most accessible way of playing these games on modern platforms.

Grałem w pierwszą część z tego zestawu i powiem, że gra choć ma swoje lata, sprawia frajdę z rozgrywki. Niewątpliwie wymaga zręczności i refleksu. Na szczęście dla mnie, że były swobodne opcje zapisu i loadu więc mogłem szybko wrócić na miejsce zapisu, kiedy dostałem dmg od wroga. Gierka generalnie giga krótka, ale zacna.

An absolute horrible and lazy port. First of all, no online play? Really? Second, WHY did we get the arcade versions of contra? Easily the worst versions of contra by far. Hit detection is all messed up, the jumping is awkward and clunky, bullets don't go where you want them to when aiming in all 8 directions, etc. This collection is ALSO really just 3 games with different regional ports for each one. It may SEEM like a good deal because you're getting "10 games" when really you only get 3 games and different regional ports which add literally NOTHING to the other versions, just your main characters are robots and not humans. The only good thing about this is that it has contra 3, and a digital scrapbook that's annoying to navigate. Very disappointed in this konami, I'm glad I'm getting a refund.
Don't buy. Save your money.
