Just beat Contra (NES) without dying

[needlesmcgirk]

So I had to let everyone know this as I've been workign on it for a while.  This has been a goal of mine and I have finally done it.

I've been able to beat the game without using the code for a while now and knew this was the next step.  The closest I've come in the past is only dying 3 times, so this was awesome.  I know you are all very proud of me, as if I was your own child.

Big deal...I beat Contra without dying once and I was standing on my head and looking through a mirror at the time!   ...oh,  did I mention that my dog was holding the base of my joystick for me?

Now try using your feet instead

Wow that's really good!

I can't beat it without "the code". Maybe it's because I always relied so heavily on it...

Wow, that's just amazing.  I have a long way to go...

Awesome awesome game...

We almost used to fist fight over that game because someone would hog all the S guns. So lets take a vote.... what was the S gun in your house?

I've heard scattergun, shotgun, spreader

Now you must video record it - and get it on youtube!

Too late - someone beat you to it

Part 1
Part 2

But you can still post your video - maybe you can beat his time (speed run!)
