My short & sweet "Contra Force" review/commentary...
There is not a whole lot to be said about Konami's 1992 side-scrolling shooter "Contra Force," which was originally slated to be released in Japan in 1992 as "Arc Hound," but the title was changed to "Contra Force" when released in North America later that year; "Contra Force" shares very little, aside from the title, with the two previous entries "Contra" and "Super C," despite being the third game in that series to be released using the "Contra" mantle.
I remember playing this game with my father on the Nintendo when I was a young pre-teen growing up in the early '90s. He and I would easily kill an hour or two playing this game on Friday or Saturday afternoons.
With the advent of YouTube since the mid-2000s, I've also managed to locate this game's original electronica-based soundtrack on that platform, and listen to it - thus taking me back to my fondest years as a seven- or eight- or nine-year-old kid back in the early 1990s.
10/10.
