Say it with me "Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B,
Select, Start". I've got 99 lives and all night long. Contra was one
of the original must cheat games. You had to do the old "up, up, down,
down" to beat the game as there was no continuing after the game ended.
Playing this classic on Xbox Live should be sick.
