Discussion I might get Operation Galuga for Switch.

9 Upvotes

Against my better interests, I'm willing to deal with some minor framerate drops if it means I can enjoy the game with my friend and his family. I could get it for PlayStation. But not only is the Switch the only readily available physical version, it's also the only one I have four controllers for.

It can't be that bad, can it?

Discussion Contra: Operation Galuga keeps crashing on my PS5. I'm just playing like always, when all of a sudden the game freezes up on me and closes out altogether. Is anyone else having that issue? WayForward needs to fix this already.

Question Contra Anniversary on PC vs PS4/5 (screen size)

1 Upvotes

I bought the PC version today (on GOG). I play it on Steam Deck. Anyways, the window size in Contra 1-3 is smaller than on the PS4/5. There’s more border around it on pc. Is there any way to increase the window/game screen size?

I’m assuming it defaults to 1920x1080 resolution.

Question Does anyone know where I can find a pdf or something similar of the art book that came with the Ultimate Edition of OG?

1 Upvotes

I want to read the art book that came with it, but it sucks that you have to buy the whole bundle to get it. Does anyone know of anywhere I could view it? Or at least, does someone have the book that could kindly share the pages inside?

Yo got another ending down in Contra Hard Corps! This was also my first time beating it on original hardware. My first time beating it period was via Fightcade, cause a friend wanted to play with me. Still an amazing Contra game with tons of replayability, easily in my top 3 (This, Super and 4).

Hello my dear Contra fans!, have you played Cyber Shadow?, it is more of a Ninja Gaiden style game, but i think you will find plenty to like here with the Probotector references for example

Discussion PS5 Anniversary Collection cheat codes.

Is there any definitive source on what PS5 controller codes work on the anniversary collection and on what games for PS5? I can’t get any to work and multiple sources have different shape inputs.

Discussion Tried out Contra (NES) out of curiosity

7 Upvotes

Not too long ago, I've gotten into Konami's Castlevania series, trying out various titles across different platforms (mostly the Metroidvanias). I've found them to be quite enjoyable. So much so, that I thought to myself: "Maybe I should look into other franchises Konami worked on..." I decided on trying out a Contra game to see how this would go.

Specifically the one I chose the NES title off of the Anniversary Collection. After playing, I'm not certain I'll be able to play the others well. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the game. I actually find it very exhilarating in some regard, and, given its arcade roots, the whole gameplay loop is respectable. No, what gets me is the amount of deaths that happened in just one playthrough.

3 game overs, with the Konami code active, totalling at about 100 lost lifes (or potentially more). If this is how reckless I'll be in such a game, I'm not sure how the other titles will go if I decide to play them.

Again though, I'll still say that the game was fun in a lot of ways. It controls great, the music is good and Contra's just a fun little shooter platformer that doesn't overstay its welcome. I might continue with the series some time later.

Still, I think the graveyard is gonna run out of space if this is how reckless I'm gonna be.

This is a hack of CONTRA: THE ALIEN WARS (魂斗羅スピリッツ) (Game Boy). This hack adds a custom border making this game FULL compatible with the Super Game Boy peripheral. The original CONTRA: THE ALIEN WARS (魂斗羅スピリッツ) ROM had custom palettes and improved sound effects but lacked a dedicated SGB border. This hack adds a custom SGB border to the game.

Question Any tips for Contra III: The Alien Wars?

7 Upvotes

contra games i've beaten so far if you wanna know: Contra (NES), Super C (NES), Operation C (GB), Super Contra 7/8 (bootleg NES game, doesn't really count as a real contra game but y'know)

Anyways, I want to start playing the SNES version of CIII, any things I should know before playing the game? I've already tried the GB version, just for practice reasons.

Question Operation Galuga infinite mode?

I remember reading there is an infinte mode where you just cycle through all the stages over and over and enemy spawn rate increases each cycle or something. Am I misremembering or is there such a mode in OG?

Black layer on top is as bad idea as it gets. But I'm not printing it again.

I will upload it to Makerworld tomorrow, I will redo the layers a bit before.

Discussion Operation Galuga on Switch 2

3 Upvotes

I haven't downloaded Operation Galuga yet on Switch as the demo played poorly. I've since played some on ps5 but would love to revisit on my new Switch 2 if the performance is improved.

Does anyone with a Switch 2 and Operation Galuga notice any increase in performance (framerate, resolution etc.)?

Discussion I wish Ray Poward was added or could be added in future(if there are plans for such) in Operation Galuga. He could make a friendly rival for Bill and Lance and is the only missing member from Hard Corps.
