Description

Jaw-Dropping Copy of a Defining 8-Bit Classic

Contra - Wata 9.6 A+ Sealed [Rev-A, Round SOQ], NES Konami 1988 USA. This super slick copy of Contra is one of the finest examples available, with only one copy numerically graded higher on Wata's February 2025 population report. A defining run-and-gun platform shooter, Contra set the standard for fast-paced, co-op action, featuring tight controls, intense enemy waves, and unforgettable side-scrolling and vertical-scrolling stages. Originally an arcade hit (Konami, 1987), the NES version became the definitive way to play, solidifying its place as one of the system's most beloved titles. Known for its legendary Konami Code, which granted 30 extra lives, Contra remains an essential part of the NES library. Seeing such a high-grade copy of a game this iconic is a genuine thrill-one that captures the excitement of third-gen gaming at its absolute peak.
