Contra: Legacy of War

Contra: Legacy of War is a 3D action game produced by Konami and developed by Appaloosa Interactive. It was originally released in 1996 for the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn. It was the first of two Contra games developed externally by Appaloosa, followed by C: The Contra Adventure in 1998. The game marked the series' leap to three-dimensional graphics and controversial changes in gameplay. Legacy of War was released in a package with 3D anaglyph glasses that supported the game. Legacy of War is the first console game in the series to retain both the Contra title and human characters during its release in Europe and Australia (where the console series was known as Probotector from the first NES game and until Contra: Hard Corps). The game was also scheduled for release in Japan, but was canceled.
