A Brief History of Contra

downwithlove writes "Seems most of the sites out there are not digging Neo Contra. I actually think it's better than Shattered Soldier, that one being ridiculously hard. I caught this History of Contra feature on UGO that briefly outlines the progression of the series from Arcade to Next-Gen system. Good for those looking to remember their first NES romp, before the three-dimensional polygonse."

Slight uber-geek nitpick, there is no "tra" sound in Japanase, it was probably tora, but in English, it sounds kind of dumb to have that extra o in there, so they took it out and made a perfectly good alien drug cartel name from it.
I hear Reagan was an afficionaddo...
