History.dat entry:
Contra III - The Alien Wars (c) 1992 Nintendo.
The year is 2636. The aliens that lost in battle to the Contras have once again regained their full strength and have begun a large-scale invasion. Humans are nothing but mere rag dolls in the face of their overwhelming resources, scientific capability and powerful life force.
Half a year later, 2 men, Bill and Lance of the Contra team, history's greatest mercenaries, arrive to the devastated city controlled by the aliens.
A heated battle begins once more.
- TECHNICAL -
Nintendo Super System hardware
Main CPU : G65C816 (@ 3.58 Mhz)
Sound CPU : SPC700 (@ 1.024 Mhz)
Sound Chips : Custom (@ 1.024 Mhz)
Players : 4
Control : 8-way joystick
Buttons : 6
- TRIVIA -
Since the instruction manuals for the American versions of Contra and Super C for the NES established those games to be set in present times, yet Contra III featured an obvious futuristic setting, Konami explained this discrepancy by claiming that the main characters of Contra III were Jimbo and Sully, the descendants of Bill and Lance.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* All Weapons Code : At the player selection screen, press Right, Down, Downright, Right and Start. A scream will confirm the code.
* Level Select : At the player selection screen, press Left, Down, Downleft, Left and Start. A Hum will be heard if you've entered the code correctly.
