We at Team Awesome have a soft
spot in our hearts for video
games, which many of you
already know. What you might
not know is that we also have
a soft spot in our hearts for
cheesy 80's action movies.
Knowing that the Contra
characters are loosely based
on 80's action heroes, Maddog
and Scorpion began to come to
life in our minds. We wanted
to not only pay tribute to the
classic game of Contra, but
also to movies like Predator,
Aliens, and Rambo: First
Blood. And so, the Contra
trailer was born and we began
to have images of spread guns,
extraterrestrial invaders, and
unbreakable yet expendable
soldiers. From this moment
onward, may you consider
yourself a hero.
