Isometric 3D Contra that disappointed fans on release. The fundamentals of frantic action are there, but the 3D transition lacks fluidity. Interesting for those curious about Contra history.

Poorly received isometric spin-off of the Contra series, made by Konami for the North American market alone in 1996. Reviews were harsh and sales weak, which paradoxically drives today's scarcity: a small single NTSC run with no Japanese or PAL counterpart. The very high CIB and sealed pricing rests on the sought-after Contra name combined with complete copies now hard to surface, not on the game's quality.
