!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I mean, I get most of your points. I was also young with my older brother playing it. I just assumed everyone knew about the old Konami code, but I got it from my older brother so idk.
I just know 3 hits and game over is a hard for Contra. We always used the code to get 30 lives. Much props to you for beating the game without it.
Idk, I have a vivid memory of playing the game, I remember all the weapons and stages, but I don't remember having ever input the Konami code, although I do know of it nowadays obviously.
Perhaps my older brother knew it? I don't know. 30 lives seems like it would just never end, basically.
My main point was rather that the article said it was harder as a co-op? I think it was easier, maybe.
I don't know man, it's been more than a quarter of a century. All I remember is having had fun. I think that's the main point.
Thanks
