Certainly better than the arcade original. Input is really responsive and intuitive giving you great control over your jumps.I own this game and have beat the American and Japanese NES ports several times without needing to continue. I've since become a more seasoned player and can now beat it with the provided three lives. Although, part of this was because I knew I had so many lives, I didn't really try to learn to play the game properly. I was so bad at gaming in the 1980s that, even the Konami Code which granted 30 lives, I wasn't able to beat the game without needing to continue. He always referred to the flame thrower as "freaky" and purposely avoided it, which, at the time, I thought was odd, but now, I completely understand. My earliest memory of Contra for the NES was watching it being played with my step-brother.
