==Reception== Much of the game's popularity came from its two-player simultaneous gameplay, which was an uncommon feature in video games at the time of ''Contra{{'}}s'' release. While successful in the arcades, the game became and remained widely popular and remembered when it was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. ''Contra'' was voted #1 by gaming website IGN.com as being the "Toughest Game to Beat". Nintendo Power ranked it the seventh best Nintendo Entertainment System video game, calling it one of the best multiplayer NES games. ScrewAttack named it the fifth-best NES game of all time.
