Hack description

"93' Optimized" is a hack of Contra on the NES based on "Contra Aoi Version".

The level designs are mixed with some designs from the original game, "93' Super Contra II", and some new designs.

Enemy AI is almost the same as "Contra Aoi Version". But the difficulty is easier...

Weapons are better than the original game. And like the NDS' Contra 4, they have the upgraded system, and you have the secondary weapon slot to switch. So be good at using any weapons to run through every stage...

Not for a casual gamer!redhotiron20042020-10-06Version 1.41a

This version is hard. From soldiers to turrents, everything seems to perfectly target you. You cannot just expect to run and gun without dying. I used the hack for 15 lives in the 2 player version. It was still hard for me. I am a casual gamer and my skills are not bad. I liked the feature of having 2 powers at the same time that can be switched. But, beleive me you won't be able to get the chance to swith weapons as you would be dying a lot.

My only advice here would be that it needs to have lesser turrents and lesser soldiers to deal with. Even with easier patch I find it diffiult to the extent that I couldn't complete the first level itself.

I didn't want to reommend this mod. But, looking at the kind of work done and the prospect of a better game in the future for casual gamers like myself. I just gave it a like. I hope this hack could be made easier for the casual gamer atleast upto the original contra level.
