My brother and I played it like three times in a row and finally beat it on our third try. The first try we both died right after the flying missile level. The second try my brother went out early and left me to fend off the alien invaders alone from level 4 to 6… where i died against this weird, human face-having mini-boss. Finally, on the third try, we made it to level 6 without using any continues, which allowed us plenty of opportunities to take down the final boss. Oh yeah, and that was all on easy mode, btw. Yeah, we’re lame. But still, I’ve had that game for months now and have never been able to do much with it so…
Finally Beat Contra III Last Night

Contra III is a game that definitely needs to come to Xbox Live.
Ha! I remember playing this game like crazy back in the day. I used to finish through normal and end up with around 15 lives once I beat it because I just wouldn’t die. Hard difficulty is another matter. That took forever for us to beat on hard, and I think I only did it once. Once you learn the patterns, easy and normal aren’t that bad at all, it’s hard mode that really rocks you.
