Is it still worth playing?
Konami's 1988 run and gun arcade game, known in Japan as Super Contra: The Alien Strikes Back, the sequel to Contra. Bill Rizer and Lance Bean are sent to thwart another alien invasion from the vicious Red Falcon. It has side scrolling stages and vertically scrolling stages played from an overhead perspective, with movement in eight directions. In the side scrolling stages you control the height of your jump by holding the joystick up or down. You replace the default gun by destroying flying item capsules, which give a machine gun, a spread gun, a bomb gun or a laser gun. Weapons can be upgraded by picking up the same power up twice in a row. Committing to one gun is still rewarded, since you upgrade a weapon by taking the same pickup again.
