UPDATE: Perhaps this one can catch interest:

That clearly shows 2 copies of that 24-in-1 Super Contra hack. One of them has that Contra III background image. The other one seems to be a "Contra 6". This could be either of those Contra Force hacks (Super Contra 6 or Super Contra 3). OR, it could actually be that Hosenkan Contra Spirits port to the NES. However, what surprises me the most is their use of screenshots from the Gameboy port!

Thanks for that, JC :)

Hey, I was wondering if there was some way we could keep this topic alive and going. Because I'll still be constantly looking for Contra pirate pictures.

mgman

Whoa, how about an update :)

In this lot, you'll find a group of 3 Contra games: http://allegro.pl/item578233220_25_gier_pegasus_pegazus_zestaw_contra_unikaty.html

This one has a really unusual Contra label in one of the carts (4-in-1): http://allegro.pl/item574566588_24_kardridze_2_gratis_pegazus_batman_contra.html

And you'll find 2 Contra carts in this entry (screenshots 1 and 3). You can enlarge them by clicking into. http://allegro.pl/item579203919_40_gier_na_pegazusa_contra_i_inne.html

Don't know if you want a pic of just any Contra pirate, but here's another one:

Hey, yeah, that one's actually really interesting. Most are just artwork stolen/ripped and slapped on. Here, they show gameplay screenshot as the cartridge label.

Keep 'em coming if you come across any interesting ones. I found a couple which are slightly mixed.

I just got this weird Contra multicart. Well, actually it's not a Contra multi. It's got Contra four times on the list and each one starts you with a different weapon. But it's got a cool intro screen that's got stars and "Contra" floats up from the bottom. It's called "100 in 1: Contra Function 16."

EDIT: Played it some more...it has Contra listed a few more times with different weapons to start and different numbers of lives. Oh and it's also got this one page called "Special Play Game: Falling Control Keyboy" which lets you select the number of lives (0-30) and the level.

Yes, I remember those loads of 100-in-1 and 168-in-1 Contra multicarts. I've seen so many in the past days. There are a lot of 168-in-1 on allegro last I checked. The ROM's were dumped and are available in places many online.

This one is by Bit Corp.

Out of curiosity, jbholio, were there any modifications done?

I don't own the game. I just recognized bit corp type of case and ID# on the label.
