Metal Slug is the much better series. The first Contra was great, but the rest not so much...

Contra 3 (SNES) was pretty damn good.  I would suspect you enjoyed that game?  


It was alright, but not anywhere as good as the original.  This is all my own opinion of course.


All good.  It was mainly from memory from childhood for me that I hold a fondness for Contra 3.  I first saw Contra 3 when my cousin brought his SNES over.  I was so shocked with how the graphics looked so superb that I couldn't get enough of it (aka why I can't really be too much of a graphics whore considering I started out during Atari 2600/NES days).  I replayed it actually with the same cousin about 10-15 years later on Wii VC and we still had a blast.  I believe we got to the final boss but ran out of lives. 

You ever try Metal Slug Advance?  I believe I even wrote a review about it on this site awhile ago.  I highly recommend it even though it deviates a little from the original formula (mainly having a health bar and able to collect cards that power up weapons, metal slugs, etc..)
