Konami 50th Anniversary Collection - Contra is a compilation of eight games from the Contra series, released by Konami. The set was developed on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the Japanese company in question. The compilation consists of such titles as Contra, Super Contra, Super C and Contra III: The Alien Wars.
In the games that form the Konami 50th Anniversary Collection - Contra, the storyline plays only a supporting role. Their action takes place in the distant future, and the players step into the shoes of soldiers whose task is to face the aliens that threaten the Earth.
The productions that make up the compilation Konami 50th Anniversary Collection - Contra are shoot'em ups, in which the action is shown mainly from the side (although the events are sometimes also presented from a different perspective). Over the course of the game, players travel through various locations, jump through platformer sections and bypass traps, as well as face hordes of adversaries. Among the latter, the leading ones are the powerful bosses with not only high attack power, but also high resistance to our own attacks; overcoming them requires us to find and fire at specific weak points. An extensive arsenal of futuristic rifles is at our disposal when it comes to the elimination of hostiles.
The games in the Konami 50th Anniversary Collection - Contra can be in singleplayer or in a local cooperation mode.
While working on the Konami 50th Anniversary Collection - Contra set, the developers did not change the graphics design. The compilation was enhanced with an ebook containing a lot of information from behind the scenes.

Game Ratings for Contra Anniversary Collection Video Game.
Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Chris Scullion
While it's a shame that there are fewer games here than in other Konami collections – we'd have loved to have seen NES title Contra Force or the now-extinct WiiWare title Contra ReBirth – the ones included are universally brilliant. The 8-bit and 16-bit Contra games are among the finest examples of the run 'n gun genre, and to have almost all of them included in a single release and emulated flawlessly is an absolute treat. Whether you're a fan of the series or a curious onlooker who's always wanted to see what the fuss was all about, this is essential.

The Contra Anniversary Collection could have been so much more.

The Contra collection finishes Konami's 50th birthday bash in style.
