Today I found this website called [link]http://www.nescafeplay.com/play[/link] which lets you play old NES games free. I decided to try Contra, which I had never played before and had only heard frustration about. People say it's hard, but I didn't think it could be that hard. After losing on the first stage an upwards of 20 times, I decided to go with the Konami code. I still only got to stage 6. Is it bad that I lost with the Konami code? Are there any Escapists who can beat it without? What do you think about Contra's difficulty?
