I just played through contra, and man it is amazing at how horrible those games were designed back then..
I don't mean the graphics I just mean the actual level layout and design..
it is completely horrible, there are so many spots where you just die no matter what, and the only way to really get through the game is just by memorizing where everything is, and by gaining skill.. but the skill part is maybe 10% of finishing the game where memorizing where everything is is about 90%..
Can't believe how much I liked contra as a kid.. what a complete dissapointment now..
oh and I think 2 is super contra, not contra 1
