What's new over at the Xbox Live Marketplace? Contra is now available for download right there, my friends. No matter where you may be, you can download this arcade classic for free today. Bust them Red Falcons, and scare them aliens away! But if the demo won't be enough for you, and that we highly believe, then go ahead and buy full version to unlock the game. It will be much more fun that way, getting to play with your friends online.

For 400 points, the full game's all yours. It's rated E10+ by no other than the friendly ESRB. The demo itself has got its game on for Single Player as well as Live Multiplayer (one to two). It's also powered by HD. So what are you waiting for? Fire away with your classic camouflage stealth mode. We know you want to.

Cool game. If only I had XBOX live or they would put decent games on the Live Arcade discs sold in stores and charge a reasonable price for them. $40 for some texas hold em, crappy puzzle games, etc. That's some B.S.

of NES, SNES, etc. Release orginal games, that I don't already have. If I wanted to play Contra or Doom, I'll play it on my PSP or NES.

There's another B A at the end. Also that's only for the NES version and this is the original arcade game. Except for graphics, the NES game is in many ways better.
