Teens React To The Brutal Gauntlet That Is Contra For NES
Contra for the NES is notoriously difficult – especially for young players who didn't grow up with Nintendo's console.
Below, the folks over at React on YouTube have put together a compilation of teens trying out the game for the first time. They don't know the Konami code, or how to jump between levels, but two of them do figure out the benefits of swimming underwater.
For more from the React YouTube channel, head here to see teens play Mario Kart, and here to see them try to figure out a Tiger Handheld.
For a more successful Contra run, head here to see up play the game in its entirety.
