Contra: Hard Corps

Contra: Hard Corps is the fifth installment in the Contra series of games by Konami, and was released for the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis in 1994. The game's title is a pun on the word hardcore.

The game retained the fast-paced run and gun gameplay from previous titles but slightly shifted focus from fighting onslaughts of enemy troops and vehicles to mainly boss encounters. Some enhancements were established in this title such as multiple paths, endings and selectable characters.

The storyline occurs five years after the events of Contra III: The Alien Wars, in 2641 A.D. The alien threat is gone and civilization is re-building. In order to enforce law and order in the rebuilding world, the Hard Corps is assembled.
