Cool review. I always wanted to play this one. How would you rank it in terms of difficulty alongside the others (assuming you've played them all)?

Thanks for the typo spottings, even when using spell checking software it seems I have to work kinks out on my reviews. Well, Contra 4 is *fairly* difficult especially when you have to memorize enemy spots and their firing range as you rush towards the stages. I'd say its moderate compared to the likes of Contra III on SNES which to me seemed far more difficult, but easier than Hard Corps for Sega Genesis, and I am sure you heard how difficult that title is overall. What threw me off mostly is the double screen which does not align properly when it comes on stages and enemy fire, and the fact you use more buttons than shooting and jumping such as forgetting there is a grappling hook setting. Otherwise, its as difficult as the amount of time you are willing to put into it really.

Yeah, I need to re-read my reviews a few times before submitting them to catch everything.

Wow, Super Cyborg looks nice, think I will give it a try sometime, appreciate the link. And sure, I will be more careful on submitting reviews as I get a bit excited when I finish anything and just push it out of my way without much thought at times ha ha.

Yes, agreed. I'm pretty sure I got to a point where I was beating Contra without continuing (or the code). Not quite doing it on one man though. That's after years and years of repetition. Super C I didn't play that much -- nobody had it on their NES in my area at the time. I went back and emulated it and maybe beat it once. I think I'll do a Contra revisiting this weekend!

This is a list I mostly agree with:
