This is actually a pretty cool and uncommon find on actual pirate cart! But I finally have it, so I can show you.
It’s a hack of G.I.Joe: The Real American Hero NES game, which actually uses Street Fighter characters to play as, yet the gameplay style is similar to Contra to some extend.
Published by Sakano in 1993, although the original game is actually by KID.
To quote Bootleg Games Wikia page:
“When the game is started, a giant screen with a glitchy sprite of Mamiya’s head in what appears to be a military base; some parts of her hair will turn red and she does not animate properly; she actually replaces General Hawk’s sprite.
The dialogue has been altered to avoid matching the original game, Duke now being Ryu.
After the first scene has finished, the character selection screen will appear.
Like the original G.I Joe, there are six playable characters, each with their own stats and abilities.
A leader of the party will be chosen on each new level; the leading character cannot be changed, but two other members can be selected.
Note: General Hawk is not playable until the final mission. The insanely high jump stat is caused by his jetpack
Below is a list of the characters’ stats, which remain unaltered from the original characters that they replace:
– Ryu (Duke) Stamina 13 (2nd) Jump 23 (3rd) Punch 15 (4th) Weapon 17 (4th)
– Guile (Snake Eyes) Stamina 10 (5th) Jump 28 (2nd) Punch 17 (3rd) Weapon 11 (6th)
– Chun Li (Blizzard) Stamina 12 (3rd) Jump 18 (5th) Punch 11 (6th) Weapon 13 (5th)
– Zangief (Captain Grid Iron) Stamina 11 (4th) Jump 20 (4th) Punch 19 (2nd) Weapon 19 (3rd)
– Vega (Rock and Roll) Stamina 9 (6th) Jump 16 (6th) Punch 13 (5th) Weapon 24 (1st)
– General Hawk (Mamiya/Unchanged) Stamina 14 (1st) Jump 99 (1st) Punch 21 (1st) Weapon 20 (2nd)
Once in game, the party members can be switched between with a menu. The leader character is the default character that will be played as during that level, although the other two selected party members can be chosen to play the level.
If a character dies in the main game, this party member selection screen appears, prompting the selection of another character you have chosen in your party.
Leader characters will alternate throughout the game:
Ryu is the leader at level 1, Chun Li at level 2, Guile in level 3, Zangief at level 4, Vega at level 5, and General Hawk at level 6.
Stamina works as a health bar; the more stamina the character has, the more endurance they have against the enemies.
The player must get the character to the end of the level after finding spots to place bombs, whilst shooting down the enemies and avoid taking damage. At the end of each level, the characters will face a boss.
Trivia:
– General Hawk in game is unedited, the only thing different about him is the intermissions, that changes his sprite into Mamiya, a character who appeared in Hokuto no Ken. It’s likely the sprite was taken from one of many famicom games related to the franchise.
– This game, despite being called Contra Fighter does not contain anything related to the original Contra. The gameplay style is similar, however.”
I played through the first three levels here, showing how these stages are played with the most of characters that you have here. Originally, when I recorded this video, I planned to do it as a playthrough series… but given the fact that I pretty much played this game for the first time with trial and error, and re-recording the footage bunch of times, I thought that it wouldn’t really make a good video… so we have a “Bootleg Famicom Games” episode here instead. I may actually give this game a chance once again and attempt to playthrough it without password system as well (which I demonstrated in the video as well, and which wouldn’t probably be fitting in playthrough).
For anyone asking ROM, please check Cah4e3’s website, as he has one! Thank you.
