Contra (JP) (Fan Translation)

'Contra is set in the distant future of the year 2633 A.D., when the evil Red Falcon Organization have set a base on the fictional Galuga archipelago near New Zealand in a plot to wipe out humanity. Two commandos, Bill Rizer and Lance Bean of the Earth Marine Corp's Contra unit (an elite group of soldiers specializing in guerrilla warfare), are sent to the island to destroy the enemy forces and uncover the true nature of the alien entity controlling them.'

The Japanese version of Contra includes a text before the gameplay demo, aside from cutscenes between all stages, an extended ending scene and a secret message if you press and hold Select and Start before the credits roll.

Played with an updated fan translation that in my opinion is much nicer than the previous patches, because the title no longer uses red-toned fonts, respects text timing which means it's on par with the original Japanese dump and also that they even translated the secret message as well.
