For 24 years, Konami’s Contra series of video games have combined sci-fi run and gun action with aliens and explosions. The games are also so difficult you might just throw a controller out the window- just one hit and you die. Over the course of 13 games, the series’ driving soundtrack help propel the player to victory time and time again.

So, lock and load your spread gun and prepare to blast those robots and aliens to pieces. It’s time to listen to some classic tracks from the Contra video games.
