About I first started Contra way back in January 96. The first version wasn't too bad, but I was new to assembly. The scrolling was choppy, and the game had alot of glitches. In comparison, what I've got now is much more professional. The scrolling is very smooth, and so far there's no bugs. I think you can still download the very first release. I'm not totally sure about the contents of that file.

After that first release, I went about refining the scrolling. What I came up with was a short demo that would scroll through a level. The two levels look the same, but their data comes from two different places.

Demos I had hoped to release a series of demos leading up to a playable game, but school got the better of me, and I got lazy and disinterested. So there's only the one demo (plus the original version).
