Idk, I have a vivid memory of playing the game, I remember all the weapons and stages, but I don't remember having ever input the Konami code, although I do know of it nowadays obviously.

Perhaps my older brother knew it? I don't know. 30 lives seems like it would just never end, basically.

My main point was rather that the article said it was harder as a co-op? I think it was easier, maybe.

I don't know man, it's been more than a quarter of a century. All I remember is having had fun. I think that's the main point.

Thanks

Right? I agree. My little 7 year old brain was so interested in the story going on with each level. It slowly progresses from find a secret military base behind a waterfall, to by the way aliens are everywhere and controlling everything. Actually, you have to go in one and shoot it from the inside.

Great game.

The soundtrack still rocks.

Could use some alien squishes and a bit of 8-bit machine gun in there, but yeah.
