Contra is not that difficult

I must first say I did not beat this game without using the konami code as a kid, but having not played the game in ages I picked it up and played it.  I beat the game only having to use 1 continue on the second base level.  I remember seeing this as the hardest game of all time in some places, and perhaps it was harder back then when people didn't have years to sharpen their skills in similar games i'm not sure. 

Contra 4 is far more difficult, normal difficulty on Contra 4 is probably harder then Contra.  Hard mode is way harder.

When you wrote that you beat while using only 1 continue, did you beat it without the konami code?

yea of course no konami code.  That was the first time i had played the game in many years, if i practiced I'm sure I could beat it with just a coule lives.  The game just isn't that hard.

I beieve you have 4 continues, so I had tons left.
