🎮 Play Gryzor (Japan) [En by MadHacker v1.0] [Fix by g8z et al] (Contra Version) Online (NES)

Gryzor, also known globally as Contra, is a legendary run-and-gun action game developed by Konami. This specific version is an English translation of the Japanese Famicom release, which famously includes enhancements missing from the standard Western NES cartridge. Players can experience cinematic cutscenes between missions, animated background details like swaying palm trees and snowfall, and a more detailed map screen, bringing the definitive 8-bit experience to English-speaking audiences.

How to Play

Your mission is to infiltrate the Red Falcon organization’s island base and eliminate the alien threat. Run, jump, and shoot your way through side-scrolling and pseudo-3D base stages.

• D-Pad (Arrow Keys): Move and aim in eight directions
• A Button (Z): Jump
• B Button (X): Shoot
• Start (Enter): Pause / Start game
• Select (Shift): Select options

Tips

• The Spread Gun (S): Keep an eye out for flying weapon capsules. The Spread Gun is arguably the best weapon in the game, firing a wide arc of bullets that covers most of the screen.
• Duck and Shoot: You can dodge many enemy projectiles simply by crouching. You can also shoot while ducking to safely clear the path ahead.
• Konami Code: At the title screen, entering the famous Konami Code (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start) will grant you 30 lives.
