For the most part definitely. What were the general categories of shooter weapons in most arcade shooters? (Standard pea-shooter - weakest) with multi-shot upgrade, (Spread*shot - moderate, but great coverage) with wider upgrade, (High-damage Explosive - very strong, but hard to aim) with bigger explosive pattern upgrade, (Flame*thrower - very strong, but short range) with slightly longer wider upgrade, and of course our favorite, (Laser*shot / Concentrated*beam*shot - strongest, but must aim precise), with more powerful, longer bigger beam upgrade. :-)
Played the arcade version at Aladdin's Castle Arcade way before the Nintendo version. The arcade version was more challenging because your player jumped and flipped at a much wider angle (and hit-box), making it easier to get shot. Your field of view is smaller in the arcade version, too.
@@jahmirwhite7807 maybe. But I think arcade Contra is a rather ugly game, bad color choice and sluggish playability. NES Contra seems an entirely different game, specially the japanese version with maps and briefing between stages and moving background elements. Seems Konami saw potential in the game and tried to up a level in the home version.
@@persona83 there's also the MSX version that's more based on the arcade version, and that game is infamous for removing the Spread Shot and though it did include a new level concept at the time (underground caverns and a lava stage), there were tons of repeated stages afterwards.
In my fourth grade on elementary school I always beat the contra NES version Everyday . The contra might be my favorite game on NES Contra is a excellent run and gun game

No cheat. No tas. Nomiss(Japan) = No death
Great job player Two!
Epic run. You saved the universe in 6 minutes and 15 seconds!
The laser gun: A total joke in the console games. An absolute beast in the Arcades.

I disagree about the NES version. Laser is not an overall great weapon, but it has its uses.
@@persona83 the real worst weapon is the flamethrower

I can't believe this is not a tas run! Great!!
もう35年も前なのか････
私もアラフィフになる訳だ(笑)
うめえええ
巨人スルーなんて今更知ってビックリ
arcade Contra: another run and gun game
NES Contra: absolute classic
You must remember that the arcade version came out before the NES version. It's so overrated.
