Contra III: The Alien Wars - Stage 1 (Ground Zero)

I hope you're ready for action, because today we're embarking on an extreme journey. Out of all the Contra games I've played (which admittedly isn't a whole lot), the third game is my favourite. It's hectic as hell, the weapons all serve some sort of purpose without too much imbalance, and a few songs are fairly memorable. There's only six stages and some are less than five minutes long, so this isn't a particularly long game. It's a somewhat challenging game though and I hope you enjoy.
