Contra Anniversary Collection may not be the definitive collection of Konami's retro run 'n' gun franchise but what's here still provides top-notch action-packed co-op entertainment.

Contra Anniversary Collection is a great compilation of main Contra games, regional variations and spin-offs, but it's missing a few more interesting and more recent games, not widely available. If you love Contra, you'll love this bundle.
Contra Anniversary Collection Description

Plot
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.
Mechanics
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.
Game modes
The games in the Konami 50th Anniversary Collection - Contra can be in singleplayer or in a local cooperation mode.
Technical aspects
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.
