Contra - Hard Corps
魂斗罗：Hard Corps
Contra: Hard Corps is a side-scrolling run-and-gun action game developed by Konami in 1994 for the Sega Genesis. Players control heavily armed commandos fighting through waves of alien invaders and mechanical enemies. The game features multiple weapon types that can be picked up during levels, fundamentally changing your firepower and tactical options. Gameplay allows players to move left and right, jump to navigate obstacles, and shoot in multiple directions including diagonals. The branching path system means that player choices at key points in each stage determine the route taken, resulting in different level layouts and multiple distinct playthroughs. The game supports 2-player cooperative gameplay, allowing two commandos to progress through the campaign together.
