	Contra series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most likely source of the name "Contra" is from the Iran-Contra affair, which occurred during the second term of President Ronald Reagan.
		The in-game use of the term "Contra" is explained in the manual of both Contra: Shattered Soldier and the Famicom port of Contra as "a title awarded to a superior soldier possessing almost super human drive and ability, while excelling in guerrilla tactics".
		Beginning with Contra: Shattered Soldier, the old North American continuity, along with the PlayStation games, Legacy of War and C: The Contra Adventure, was discarded and the Japanese continuity (from the original Contra to Contra: Hard Corps) was adapted for all subsequent North American releases.

	Contra (arcade game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Contra and its sucessors were heavily influenced by the action movies of the time, in particular Rambo and Aliens.
		Contra made use of the VRC2 chip; its added effects are noticeable in comparison to the American NES version, with the presence of animated backgrounds with palm trees and snowfalls.
		Contra: Hard Corps for Mega Drive (known merely as Probotector) was the last Contra to be released under the Probotector label, while the next one in the series, Contra: Legacy of War, became the first one to remain as a Contra game.

	The Contra HQ
		Contra Force has little to do storyline-wise with the rest of the Contra games - it has nothing to do with aliens or bare-chested commandos.
		Instead, it deals with a group of mercenaries named the Contra Force (duh) whose boss has been kidnapped by some evil crime lord or something.
		There's a lot of good ideas in Contra Force - having multiple characters means that each one has their own unique set of weaponry, which adds something to the mix.

	UGO.com Games - The History of Contra Super Feature
		Contra III has managed to etch itself into the consciousness of a lot of gamers because of several fantastic setpieces.
		Then there was the beginning of one of the staples of Contra, the homage to past games as Contra III recreated the level one fight against the Fortress Entrance and the final fight against the Heart from the first Contra.
		Although for all it's suckiness it's rather ironic that this is the game that introduced the concept of a "Contra Force" that has been picked up by other games in the series.

	Classic Review Archive - Contra Force
		But there are worse; Contra Force is the third in the popular series, but seems to more of a side-story than anything else.
		Contra Force does not technically fall anywhere in the Contra series.
		Instead of just shooting little canisters and releasing power-ups, the method of obtaining weapons in Contra Force is a bit more like the Gradius series.

		No screenshots were ever released, but Contra 64 was supposed to be the first Contra to take place in full 3D.
		Sure it features the Hard Corps, which is more than Contra Force can claim, but at this point I thought the series was dead, never to be resurrected.

		Dupart's boss, task force chief Alan Fiers, stated that he recalled that the lead was not pursued "because of the NSC connection and the possibility that this could be somehow connected to the Private Benefactor program [the contra money handled by North].

	The Consortium
		Typical of the distortions is Clarridge's argument that the contra war was justified because the Sandinistas were responsible for burning down Salvadoran villages and killing Salvadoran children.
		The little force first coalesced as the 15th of September Legion under the leadership of a former National Guard officer, Col. Enrique Bermudez.
		Contrary to the current media spin questioning whether the CIA directed the contras, Clarridge presents himself as a kind of frenetic acrobat handling one contra crisis after the another: picking leaders, planning strategy and holding the army together with the sheer force of his personal will.

	IGN: Contra
		Though released first in arcades, it is the NES conversion of Contra that most players remember with fondness.
		Contra's simple gameplay pioneered new standards for the side-scrolling shooter genre, with eight-way directional shooting that allowed more freedom than the typical '80s shooter.
		Two-player cooperative play is also a huge part of why we loved (and continue to love) the game, as we still remember the co-op tactics of our youth: player one takes the spread gun, player two grabs the laser, and no one stops shooting.

		Also of course the jap version of Life Force for the Famicom is called Salamander and was just called Life Force here in the states.
		I don't believe there were alternate Famicom versions of Contra or Lifeforce..I'm not sure if the NES coulda handled 4 options on screen...it couldn't even allow each player to have 2 when playing coop...even the MAME had slowdown with the multiple options floating around...

		This is Contra in name only (the title...I'm referring to the apparent title this game would've taken had the game been released in Japan).
		Creating realistic cityscapes and settings has always been a devil of a task on the NES and is often done at the expense of onscreen action; it forces the designer to add a great deal of familiar stuff, more than, say, a jungle.
		This is the game no one knew about and wanted to know about, as the soldiers from the original Contra are back for another similtaneous two player side scrolling shooting adventure battling against an alien assult on earth.

		The Task Force was not subject to the same control by the CIA's Office of Congressional Affairs (OCA) as other Agency units, but despite (or perhaps because of) this autonomy, relations with the Hill were positive.
