Contra!

Hey, remember Contra?



No no no, not that one (idiot.)




There you go sunshine, much better. Yes that game was totally awesome, unless you lived in Australia where you had to make do with Probotector:



Well we certainly can't have the kiddies shooting real enemies now, can we. But nobody ever thinks of the robots, they have families, they pay their taxes, why is killing robots an acceptable pastime for children?

Anyway, the music in Contra is internationally recognised as 'bad ass'* Even though I trust many of you have already seen this, watch and learn.



Then go right ahead and watch the guy who composed this masterpiece listening to it.



Makes me wonder, are there any Australian bands who crank out the video game tunes? Answers on the back of a postcard thanks.
