Yep, Contra is, in fact, easy
I beat Contra. Less than 24 hours after I started taking the game seriously. This game is hard? I've beaten much harder games than this one.

Shoot, I even had a continue or two left over. :P

It's hard the first few times you play it, but yeah, the pattern recognition is a quick study for an experienced player as compared to, say, the first Mega Man game, or the old standby Battletoads.

Yeah, I don't have the patience for Battletoads or any NES Mega Man game. I can beat the level 3 race thingie in Battletoads, but that's still early in the game.

Fact: Battletoads is so poorly tested that there is one level where the second player is unable to move at the start and is forced to die.

That's the only bug in the game, and it doesn't matter because you will never get two people in the same room who are capable of beating the game alone, much less together. You'll always have at least one player who can't beat the speed bikes and has to use up all their lives without continuing so that the good player can get through the level. Then the bad player can continue on the map, except then they just lose all their lives on either the ice level or the surf level.

Not every Mega Man game is as hard as the first one. The second and third are somewhat easier, although that could just be because I've played 'em more.
