they made it so Spread was the best choice almost alway, i recall a boss for which Laser was best, using memories from 35 yeats ago tho
I too, am older than 35 yeets
Is that like those two yoots?
“Flamethrower” (the wavy path ball gun) is perfect for a couple parts of the game where you can lay down. You fire and ever shot hits, and you are never in the path of enemy bullets or mobs.

That was a hard game I’ve never beat.
I only ever beat it with a friend in 2 player. He really carried me, it probably would have been much easier for him in 1P!
I used to play with a friend. But we were young. Wonder if it would seem any easier now? Haha.
You know how you keep missing the exploding bridge jump on the first level? You gotta stop shooting the machine gun while you jump. Makes you go a little further.
aaaaaaand the music is now stuck in my head again.
Spread gun is even better if you manage to offset the spread. It can only have x bullets active at once, so if you stack the bullets it will turn into the highest DPS machine gun in the game
I won’t start over. But, I’ll hate play until I get another one.
I love this, this has to be the best version of this meme I’ve ever seen.
I personally won’t start over if I lose spread, but lose all my powerups in something like Gradius or Lifeforce and it probably isn’t worth it to keep going. It is the Konami way.
That’s actually part of why I didn’t enjoy Gradius and Life Force. At that point it’s not a fun challenge, it’s just bullshit. In Contra you can do pretty good with the starting weapon, even if it’s not ideal.
