Full no death run of Contra: Hard Corps (魂斗羅 ザ・ハードコア in Japan) by Konami for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive! This run was done with the US version of the game, which has 1 hit deaths unlike the Japanese version. I'm playing as Ray and going through the path ending with the fight with the Mother Alien (aka Alien Queen/Alien Heart).
This was played on a JVC X'Eye with real cartridge, no emulation or cheats were used.
Stage Listing:
00:00 - Intro
00:26 - Stage 1 - City Battle
03:21 - Stage 2 - High Speed Fight
06:09 - Stage 3 - Junkyard
09:41 - Stage 4 - Jungle
15:53 - Stage 5 - Trap
18:42 - Stage 6 - Alien Space
21:58 - Final Boss + Ending
This route is one of the easier routes in that there are few issues that cause significant stress, most of the difficulty lies in the final stage. The wannabe "Red Falcon" midboss can be an issue with it's random spawns but he goes down easily with a single bomb if you place it right. The area right before the final boss can be a bit tricky if you don't have the right weapons but the laser works great in that section.
