ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
The following links cover some not-so-mainstream Contra-related topics. The series has a prominent development and following in eastern countries, such as China. However, those are considered supplementary, and are not considered mainstream in the same sense as what is covered in the Contra Encyclopedia. They receive hardly any coverage in the West. Unlicensed games can be a touchy subject, but they undoubtedly do not classify as mainstream. Follow any of these links for a bit more information regarding some of the “quieter” aspects of the Contra series.
Be warned, however, that in addition to being outdated, the style of content presented through the following 2 blog links are in stark contrast to this website’s. The content was created without formality or consistency. They are side projects, developed in a more colorful tone and serve mostly as bookkeeping/archive of every possible Contra-related game encountered. Expect to see mileage-based writing, vulgarity and a general farce of conventional journalism.
The Black Viper Station was formerly accessible by the pubic. Recently, it had been closed due to severe quality issues. Additionally, it had maintained complete inactivity and lack of foreseeable updates in the distant future.
