Contra (DOS)
Contra |
---|
Also known as: Gryzor (EU)
|
One of the lesser-known versions of Contra developed for home computers, this version for IBM PC and compatibles (courtesy of the oddly-named Banana Development) was actually published in the US alongside the Commodore 64 version by Konami themselves.
Unfortunately, it's not a particularly good conversion due to its faulty controls.

Unseen Quit Text
While this is used when quitting the game, it's rendered as black text on a black background, making it impossible to see without hacking.
Game Over ...Thanks for playing... < Konami > and < Banana Development >
