"No scrolling, missing levels and yet it still turns out to be one of the best arcade conversions for the CPC. Brandwood, Fenton and Jones were amazing."

DJevAL says

"Another arcade conversion winner from Brandwood and Jones! It would have been absolutely perfect and flawless conversion bar 2 minor and 1 major drawbacks - First its only SFX or music (yet rumours persist there is a version with both going on...?), second its missing a level and thirdly (the major one) - its a flick screen - no scrolling! Brandwood never really mastered the scroll on the CPC did he? Shame, as if it wasn't for that - I could live without the dual SFX and music and the missing level and awarded it full marks. Still, it's miles better than the god awful C64 version and the sumptuous graphics puts it ahead of the Speccy version. A must own for any CPC fan."

"The best 8 bit version, one of the best cpc coin op conversions, fantastic graphics, fantastic gameplay, nice difficulty level and cool weapons! "

"This game is amazing. It really shows off the power of the CPC when programmed properly. The game plays well, and there`s many hours of fun to be had playing it."

"I remeber playing this to death with my friend oh so many moons ago, oh how we loved the violence. So much so that i have followed the contra series ever since. top notch graphs, maniac guns, wicked bosses - all in all it`s as fun as a bag full of epileptic monkeys."

cpc4eva says

"what can you say when everything has already been said about this game. This is a must have for your cpc / cpc emulator. Well done Ocean. Well done Mark Brandwood, Roger Fenton & Mark Jones. I give it 9 cause it was frustrating on levels such as screen 6 above."

Gryzor says

"Hands down the BEST 8-bit conversion, and one of the all-time best conversions, too! Simply great fun. Beautiful graphics, gratifying sfx and tunes, frantic action and a high degree of addictiveness. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

Hiro says

"Great conversion that has some of the best CPC game graphics ever. Makes the other 8 bit versions look quite shameful."
