Jack into this game of genetic engineering gone bad.
It's five years after the mother of all wars ended - and things still aren't right.
Your job is to fix it.
The ever-popular Contra series makes its Sega Genesis debut with a pulse-pounding new storyline.
At 16 megs, HARD CORPS pushes the technology to bring you over ten gut-wrenching levels with huge boss characters, great graphics and dynamic sound.
Find high powered weapons such as the homing gun, crush gun, needle laser or mine setter.
Do you think you can handle it? Trust me, you can't.
You still here? Okay, then get ready for the fight of your life.
Pick one of the four heroes and begin your search across many dark levels of doom.
The ending changes, depending on the paths you choose - but every pass crosses boss characters that will blow you away.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Contra Hard Corps [Cardboard Box] for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Contra Hard Corps [Cardboard Box] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1994.
