Contra
[
Konami
,
1988][related: KonamiCode™]
Title for the
NES
inspired by the seminal action film
Predator
starring
Arnold Schwarzenegger
. Known as
Gryzor
and/or
Probotector
in the PAL Region,
Contra
is notable for its gameplay featuring a mixed format of
standard L→R scrolling alternating with pseudo-3D view in which the player
proceeds "forward" into the depth of the screen
1
. The game
culminates in the capricious and unexplained morphing of opposing forces into
an alien army. In
Contra's
original arcade version (released 1987),
players captured in this ultimate level were forced to watch a graphic digital
dismembering sequence lasting in excess of 17 seconds (Expo '70).
