The L (laser?) gun could also be useful for hitting a single target multiple times with one shot, but you'd want to wait for it to connect before firing another shot, heh...

When I did a speed attack, I put the Load key between the A button key and the B button key and the Save key to the side. I think Bisqwit does it the other way around, though.

I just realized something on the other post about contra....... On the run I recorded, I didnt even pick up any weapon upgrades. I think if I got the L upgrade, I could maximize the aim, possibly making the Base levels doable without killing the soldiers. Also, it would make the boss battles easier and I'd be able to destroy the spike tank things and spike walls faster. Thanks for the idea Bag of Magic Food (referring to your other post)!

ok, i spent a long time yesterday making a non-violent contra run. Give me some feedback and tell me whatcha think so i know how i can do it better. This is what im thinking so far. 1) remove excess jumping around, especially at the end of level 7 and beginning of 8 2) use only the standard weapon and only get R power-ups copy / paste it to the adress bar to get it. i dont know how to link to files in a forum, sorry. http://www.geocities.com/krieg1337/contra.zip

Pretty nice, though it could be significantly better. In the next version you should make sure that every shot hits something. I saw about 2-3 clear misses. Also, it looks like you wasted lots of time on the giant alien thing in level 8. Of course there are small flaws in other places but I'm too lazy to analyze it completely or point them all out. Good luck with the next version :)

Darn it, these Geocities and Angelfire links seem to always fail the day after they're posted.

Oops, never mind, I forgot you have to use Save Target As to make it work right. I still hate those sites, though.

thx for the feedback, and ive watched it myself about 5 or 6 times. everything youre saying is right and i do waste alot of time of that bull-alien thing. the next version (which i will be working on sometime soon if i ever get off from work) will have... 1)100% accuracy 2)Only use R power-ups and the standard weapon (but will use turbo-fire that i config with famtasia) 3)Kill no enemys except bosses / barriers 4)Beat the game in less that 12:00 i gotta say, its looking pretty impossible at the moment, but when i sit down with it for a few hours, im pretty sure it can be done and that i can do it. wish me luck. my goal is to make something good enough to have bisqwit make an avi of on his site. and seeing my name when i browse would be cool :)

I was just thinking to myself: Since the soldiers in the Bases automatically blow up when you destroy the circle consoles, would it be less violent to wait until they're off-screen before doing that?

yes, but that would take FOREVERRRRR. theres like 6 or 7 segements in each base level and theres 2 base levels and waiting for all the guys to go away takes about 30-40 seconds we're talkin about adding a good 10 minutes to the time attack by doing that. oh, and the boredome of watching me do nothing the "non-violent" aspect of it originally was that no monsters, aside from bosses ect., died directly from my bullets.

ok, im extremely frustrated. i just got done with my 2nd attempt at a non-violent contra. and this version was DAMN good. beat the game in 11:31, used only the standard weapon....but... at the LAST SECOND, i kill an enemy by accident is there any way to re-try or continue a recording once you stop the recording the initial time? i'll sit down and do it again, but jesus christ am i mad at myself. here it is, if youre curious. http://www.geocities.com/krieg1337/Contra.zip

sorry for triple posting, but its finally done and im glad to have my name on this. i have to go to work, but i'll be back by 8:30ish (5 hours from me posting this) and i'll submit it then. in the mean time, please watch it and give me thumbs up / thumbs down on it. Here is how it stacks up with my previous attempt 1) is 1:23 faster 2) uses standard bullets insted of laser 3) uses ammo more conservatively http://www.geocities.com/krieg1337/NonViolentContra.zip

Take a look and tell me whatcha think help PLEASE krieg747, you should think twice before starting topics with subjects of that kind. All the other topics at nesvideos forum are clear so let's keep this clean. (I don't really want to whine)

ugh 3 hours of contra uncut. whats worse, having to do it in one run, or having to watch the whole vid over and over again because you lost a savegamepoint somewhere :p

But you are replaying it at ten times the normal speed, right? That helps.

Okay, I see your point. I suppose the soldiers could be dying offscreen when you destroy the wall anyway, for all we know.

I thought this one was pretty cool, and if you get the time, try one in Contra 3 too! Maybe you should put it in the NES section though?
