About contra.ee

contra.ee is a small independent site built around Contra, Konami’s 1988 NES run-and-gun. It was rebuilt in September 2026 as a plain static site so it loads fast on a school Chromebook and does not depend on a database or an outside game host to stay up.

The rest of the site stays close to the subject: run-and-gun and arena shooters, battle and strategy games, arcade classics and a handful of two-player games, each with its own page describing what it is, how it controls and a couple of things learned by playing it.

How the games work

Contra runs in EmulatorJS, an open-source emulator that loads in your browser; the emulator’s files come from its public CDN and the game data is served from this domain. Save states are kept in your browser. The other games are HTML5 builds embedded from the game host that serves our sites. Nothing installs and nothing loads until you press Play.

Who writes the content

The descriptions, control guides, tips and answers on this site are written by the people who run it, after playing the games. Where we describe a mechanic, it is because we have used it. If something we have written is wrong, tell us through the contact page and we will fix it.
