Undoubtedly one of the best action video game developed in 1987 by Konami "Contra III The Alien Wars" a game that frames many times

The theme of this beautiful game is that many years ago (2631) A meteorite falls in a place near New Zealand, resulting in a new alien life, and already in the year (2636) continues the alien war and the two soldiers Jimbo and Sully are in charge of putting an end to the alien invasion, going through 6 levels full of action getting improvements like bombs, scattering rays, missile launchers, lasers and flamethrowers, touring the devastated city with the goal of reaching the alien base where aim is to finish the boss and save the city, which you can play as a game or with a friend.

The game is divided into 6 Phases in each phase there are several aliens that you must eliminate along the way

Phase 1: If you play with "Jimbo or Sully" you must wander the streets of Neo City ending with all the opponents, ending with the head of this phase that is a great ally turtle.

Phase 2: In this next phase you must destroy the bunkers where the enemies are in the city of Neo City, ending with the boss of this phase that is a super giant tank.

Phase 3: In this phase you are in an industrial area where you have to defeat a devouring machine using a drill, becoming a climbing machine once the defeated ayas, in this phase you will also have to defeat several robots, a spaceship, ending with a they look like a skeleton.

Phase 4: In particular, this is one of the Phases that I like the most, because you will have to mount a motorcycle and end enemies in motion, assassinate a subject, destroy a machine with tentacles, ride a helicopter, be launched by a missile using it as means to destroy a ship that throws huge balls of fire.

Phase 5: In this phase you will have to destroy some hatcheries of aliens to be able to advance and to destroy a huge alíen with tentacles that gives the impression that moves the earth.

Phase 6: In this last phase is already very challenging for the player, because you are in a nest surrounded by many aliens, in this phase there are many alíen with different aspects and movements: A flying ally, a spider alíen with hybrid aspect, a dragon spear flames, an ally in the form of a demon, an ally that throws worms by the mouth

and finally you will face an ally in the form of a demon with barbs, laser and fire, defeating this ally is very difficult, but when defeating it becomes a mutant brain with much power to kill any opponent, if you defeat this ally , you will be rescued by a helicopter and the evil brain will transform again and follow you during your flight "to finish this complex phase you must defeat the brain and escape with the survivors" this way you can finish the game. I had many attempts to finish it as this last phase is a bit complex.

Short Summary

Contra III is a game in 2d where you will be constantly shooting, but being a platform game, you must also jump from one side to another, or use the ability to climb the walls I think this is what I take to do some of the best cooperative games more fun of its time. I remember that I always liked to play it with my older brother in a Super Nintendo, for many of us it was the most play in this type of nintendo, and I think it was one of the best 16-bit games ever seen "If you have not already played "I invite you to play it, there is no better way to spend a nice afternoon playing Contra III The Alien Wars I recommend them.
