The graphics alone ard still mind blowing to this day,also the music & sound effects are still, i wonder how konami pulled this off,even sega would,ve be amezed by such incredible clever special effects.
This was such an underrated game. As a genesis owner I was so bummed that the only way i could play contra 3 was going to my friends house. Then this game came out and as little kid that was probably the happiest moment of life.
Used to play this game with my mom when I was a kid. She's been gone for 10 years now, but the visuals and soundtrack from this game brings back those great memories
My favorite ending is the one where you fight aliens on a missile. It is the most epic, AND the most conclusive in my opinion. It's also the first ending I got.
One of the best sega genesis games I've ever played and I own the graphics and game play is awesome it really shows the true power of sega genesis blast processing
One of the first games I could ever remember playing as a child.. I was barely able to beat the first stage, coming back now as an adult to see the rest of the game and what I’ve missed out on is an absolute treat 😢 the multiple endings, various boss fights and awesome ost.

WatchMojo didn;t even list this game as number 1 for most difficult. Instead they listed Battletoads lol. Uhhh I remember getting past the first stage in battletoads. This game, not so much. If you notice, this guy never got touched once. Thats because if you were hit twice, you were dead.
The western version of Hard Corps were both 1 hit death affairs, the Japanese version gave you up to 3 hits before losing a life. The slide move in this game can and will save your life more often than not. First stage of this game is not hard outside of the boss, but even then he is predictable, and the slide move can save you against his low flying attack when he splits in half. Battletoads on the Genesis is easier than the NES version, but still pretty broken, so it's difficulty is more random than anything. A lot of UK made games tended to have cheap difficulty spikes, whereas Japan made games tended to be a bit more rounded in how difficulty would build.
overall, the game is all about pattern recognition, as alot of hard games were, once you sussed the patterns alot of bosses were faceroll, and there are weapons such as YoYo from brownie, and Fang's charge beam and the powerslide that means you can cheese alot of the game, so overall if you play standard it is fairly tricky but it is not overall hard

the creativity in all of thzese scenarios and monsters is absolutely astonishing. I only knew the nromal Contra, which so cool back then. But somehow TH-cam brought this gem to my attention
Me and my brother broke so many controllers on this game. However we bought the japanese version for the MEGA DRIVE, thus having 3hit bars and still smashed it. A memorable soundtrack, powerful explosions and well rounded game play. MASTERPIECE !!!
@@rza884 at first it was amazing surprise makes ya wonder when u choose between two options what will lie ahead, later you learn em by heart. Yeah the story was elusive given the hieroglyphs, thus making me wanna sweat on the eu us version ^^
Любимая игра на сеге.Графон и музыка нереально радовали.Музыку даже на кассету записывали с друзьями.А сейчас в инете можно найти хорошие каверы на эту музыку)

I remember back in the 90's, I was with a friend, and he told me: "I have Contra, wanna play?" and we played Contra Hard Corps for the Genesis (the most common console over here at that time) and I remember choosing Fang not knowing anything about the game, he told me: "choose Fang" (knowing that was the hardest character to learn but could be the best one if learned). I remember getting killed by that mechanical spider and also that giant robot at 2:00 used to scare the shit out of me, specially the first time, that effect was so good for it's time. I remember not getting far into the game but he actually made it far. Recently, as an adult I have beaten it with all characters and all endings, but only once 1cc. This is the best Contra ever made
That's a nice story. Isn't it cool as adults to go back and beat the games we couldn't as kids? I've done that to many games, mostly shoot em ups. Some I couldn't beat back then and some I never even knew about. Just got Contra Hard Corps off Ebay a couple weeks ago along with the Retro-Bit 6 button Genesis controller. Can't wait to dig into it!!
Essa versão de Mega Drive ficou muito melhor que a de Super Nintendo. Muitos finais, diálogos, enredo ótimo, gráficos lindos. Gostei muito. Ótimo vídeo.
не знаю, не знаю, в детстве именно эту контру на мегдадрайв2 проходил все концовки, полуая урон, но не умирая без всяких эмуляторов и хитростей, просто многочасовое задротство ежедневное. Это далеко не самая сложная аркада на приставки)
I played this game with my older cousin in my Sega Mega Drive 2 console back then when I was still in the Elementary School in around 1994. My cousin borrowed the cartridge from his other cousin. It was so fun. Albeit it's freakin' hard to finish it alone. But we still managed to get one of the endings if we played together. I really liked its branched storylines and multiple endings. Awesome game.

@@thatguy3718 Blame German Censorship laws for that one as to why there was no swearing or guns or humans but robots instead ^^ it is why Contra 4 DS never got a western release in EU ( can still get it tho since ds is region free its really fucking good)
@@aaronbuffalo7769 contra 4 did get a western release - in fact it was even made by a western studio, wayforward! i have a copy. or did you mean a european release specifically? in that case youd be right i believe. also i dont know if the jp version would count as a pussy version, given the game was balanced with a health bar in mind. the lack of a healthbar here was probably due to the uneasy feelings around video game rentals in america. though i will admit, it is quite interesting for a contra game to have a healthbar lmao
The Second Scenario has to be my favourite of all of them. It captures who the real villains are in their truest form, pure evil. The final battle begins encapsulating a face of terror of which ends in destruction above the skyline. Truly epic.
God, how many drugs did these devs DO? This is amazing! So much creativity, and in a shooter, no less. Sound design is terrible, but the humor and wildly branching story makes up for it.

Sega games were full of surprises.... This contra, mortal kombat and dune. They really gave me so much funs in my childhood
This is a Konami game though
I found this contra way easier than most other contras. Brownie was op. Having different weapons to swap to helps immensely allowing versatility.
I think the characters were supposed to work like difficulty levels. Brownie was essentially easy mode and Fang is hard. Ray and Sheena are medium.
How the hell do you get this good at gaming? I know you memorized the game, but it still requires perfect reflex control. Hats off to you!

It takes so long
the creativity in all of thzese scenarios and monsters is absolutely astonishing. I only knew the nromal Contra, which so cool back then. But somehow TH-cam brought this gem to my attention
Me and my brother broke so many controllers on this game.
However we bought the japanese version for the MEGA DRIVE, thus having 3hit bars and still smashed it.
A memorable soundtrack, powerful explosions and well rounded game play.
MASTERPIECE !!!
Same here the story was written in kanji I have now idea about both the story & selection, I was just guessing around
@@rza884 at first it was amazing surprise makes ya wonder when u choose between two options what will lie ahead, later you learn em by heart. Yeah the story was elusive given the hieroglyphs, thus making me wanna sweat on the eu us version ^^
I appreciate you showing off the stuff like the mutant chicken soldiers eating each other.
I came here to wash my eyes out after witnessing the horrors of Contra Rogue Corps!
Still hooked to this game🔥❤️. Good old days✨
Я так далеко не заходил))) всегда было интересно что дальше.. Обожал эту игрулю. Спасибо автор)
I still play this game at least 2x a week on my model 1 Genesis from 1990.. I can walk right through it..so fun!!
Любимая игра на сеге.Графон и музыка нереально радовали.Музыку даже на кассету записывали с друзьями.А сейчас в инете можно найти хорошие каверы на эту музыку)
МОЙ ГОСПОДИН Да помню играл в неё в 1996 вроде,вдвоем одно удовольствие играть было,а музон реально крут был,я Вас хорошо понимаю,мы тоже записывали какие то мелодии,мы с вами из 90ых видимо напару!Игрушка одна из лучших реально.Эх настольгия переполняет и эмоции позитивные от Сеги,Дэнди и Плэйстейшн👍👍👍
Man ! The creator of this game is on every drug in the universe !
All of Treasure
UNO DE LOS MEJORES JUEGOS DE LA HISTORIA!!!,IMPOSIBLE ABURRIRSE!
Eat your heart out, Michael Bay!! EXPLOSIONS!!
I remember back in the 90's, I was with a friend, and he told me: "I have Contra, wanna play?" and we played Contra Hard Corps for the Genesis (the most common console over here at that time) and I remember choosing Fang not knowing anything about the game, he told me: "choose Fang" (knowing that was the hardest character to learn but could be the best one if learned). I remember getting killed by that mechanical spider and also that giant robot at 2:00 used to scare the shit out of me, specially the first time, that effect was so good for it's time. I remember not getting far into the game but he actually made it far. Recently, as an adult I have beaten it with all characters and all endings, but only once 1cc. This is the best Contra ever made
That's a nice story. Isn't it cool as adults to go back and beat the games we couldn't as kids? I've done that to many games, mostly shoot em ups. Some I couldn't beat back then and some I never even knew about. Just got Contra Hard Corps off Ebay a couple weeks ago along with the Retro-Bit 6 button Genesis controller. Can't wait to dig into it!!
When I was a child I enjoyed a scene where robot runs for train :D
He run past the train, stops it in full speed then constantly shakes it up and down! The epicness of that scene is forever in my memory!
you are a great champion of this game. you are a skilled player😘😘😘
Thx :)
Dude's flirting with you lol
@@ekuzo4 shut up prick
любимая игра на Сеге. В прошлом году заморочился и тоже со всеми концовками прошел )
Sega ещё работает?!)
Rush n’ Attack!
Essa versão de Mega Drive ficou muito melhor que a de Super Nintendo. Muitos finais, diálogos, enredo ótimo, gráficos lindos. Gostei muito. Ótimo vídeo.
Thank you so much. This brings me so much memory as I was a kid.
Holy shit he's running fast af on a highway while shooting a gun too
That stage 1 intro is wild AF
Both the music and the entrance
jesus and this was a sega game?! just another one on my list to play that i never knew about growing up
You have definitely missed a lot not playing it. Shit is brilliant
I loved playing this game on Sega in my childhood, it makes me nostalgic today 😄
Санч) это сильно) ща таких Злостных игр нет) Красаучик)
не знаю, не знаю, в детстве именно эту контру на мегдадрайв2 проходил все концовки, полуая урон, но не умирая без всяких эмуляторов и хитростей, просто многочасовое задротство ежедневное. Это далеко не самая сложная аркада на приставки)
I Miss golden day like this 😢
Thanks to you sir 😭
One of the best games ever
played this when I was like 10, such memmories, weird to look at it now, this is first time I see this game since then, thank you!
Contra Hard Corps >>> Contra Alien War
Good old days my GOD; If I get to download it I’ll love to play again😄😀
I played this game with my older cousin in my Sega Mega Drive 2 console back then when I was still in the Elementary School in around 1994. My cousin borrowed the cartridge from his other cousin. It was so fun. Albeit it's freakin' hard to finish it alone. But we still managed to get one of the endings if we played together. I really liked its branched storylines and multiple endings. Awesome game.
Робот Брауни был самым читерским бойцом - не нужно пригибаться,двойной прыжок и 2 самонаводящиеся пушки.Химическая цепь очень сильно дамажит,если правильно использовать.У Фэнга тоже пушки радовали
multiple endings is the proof of quality, this totally nails 2d linear games just like Uncharted rules 3d action games today
By the way, the japanese version of Hard Corps has a health bar (3 more bars).
And they say the Pal probotector version is the pussy version lol
I think they do that to no do The game so fucking hardcore to not be hated By all but atleast i maked it to level 3 in American versión :)
@@thatguy3718 Blame German Censorship laws for that one as to why there was no swearing or guns or humans but robots instead ^^ it is why Contra 4 DS never got a western release in EU ( can still get it tho since ds is region free its really fucking good)
@@aaronbuffalo7769 contra 4 did get a western release - in fact it was even made by a western studio, wayforward! i have a copy. or did you mean a european release specifically? in that case youd be right i believe.
also i dont know if the jp version would count as a pussy version, given the game was balanced with a health bar in mind. the lack of a healthbar here was probably due to the uneasy feelings around video game rentals in america. though i will admit, it is quite interesting for a contra game to have a healthbar lmao
true...the game was developed by Japanese developers though
Zarpado, lo jugaba cuando tenia 8 años.
Best contra of all times
After trying about 517 times getting to half of the first stage, I realize I am paying to play this game with my sanity.
I absolutely loved this game as a kid despite it kicking my ass.
I didn't beat it until I booted it up as a teenager. Ah, the nostalgia.
59:22 My fauvorite boss scenary and one of the best soundtracks in the game 💖🎶
Great Walkthrough! 👍
Please develop this game for ps4 users with new graphics. One holy game
Wow! 25 plus years late?!? This is awesome!!!
i still remembered this game and i always chose fox because of his energy charge
Отличное прохождение! Все обычно за Клыка или Брауни, а ты за Рэя. Молодец!
Спасибо!
Best contra game for sure
The Second Scenario has to be my favourite of all of them. It captures who the real villains are in their truest form, pure evil. The final battle begins encapsulating a face of terror of which ends in destruction above the skyline.
Truly epic.
God, how many drugs did these devs DO? This is amazing! So much creativity, and in a shooter, no less. Sound design is terrible, but the humor and wildly branching story makes up for it.
What do you mean "sound design is terrible"? It's gorgeous!
Absolute magnificient AI for the enemies this game. Thx you SEGA
This game is based on Chuck Norris's Kindergarten Dodgeball Adventures!!!
Thank youbfor showing the other story branching ! That’s the one I finished 😍😍
За одну только контру лайк и подписка
обалденное прохождение, молодец!!)
Excelente, saludos desde Argentina!
+Maximiliano Cabrera Cruz Gracias! :)
We play it when we were kids I love it just like old times. 😢
