Title: interesting fact about CONTRA 1
Post by: FAMICOM_87 on December 24, 2017, 03:09:37 pm
Recently I discovered, that you can play Contra 1 not only with the first controller, but with  the second controller as well in signal player mod,  even start and select  on the second controller works  :) and yes, the 2 controllers work simultaneously   :gamer:

The fun part is having player 1 use a D-pad and player 2 use the buttons.  Getting through the game with no 30 lives code requires real teamwork.

Huh.  I guess this is why, during the fortress stages, P1 can hold down "down" and P2 can hold down "up" and then you can shoot up at the higher targets while ducking down.

I'll admit... I hadn't played Contra much but this is for sure an interesting fact to know. Thanks for sharing this with us ;D

I knew you could do this with Jackal, which made the game more realistic when you think about it.

Do you know of any other games that does this?  Is it only games that use the konami code?   ;D
