Super Contra

So, I figured I'd just go ahead and do Contra # 2 since everyone likes Contra so much. I played part 2 way more then I did the first game, since Contra 1 gave you 30 lives, it was just easier to beat. Contra 2 was a struggle when I first played it. There is a 10 lives code that helps, but back then, even 10 lives was not enough. I'm considering playing through Contra 3 as well but its a harder game, so I haven't decided quite yet.
