Contra Games with No Overhead Levels

[RemyC]

I love contra games, but I don't like the overhead levels featured in most of them.
Could I please get a list of the games that do not have any overhead levels?

Then by all means stay away from Contra: legacy of war it's nothing but overhead

Contra - Side scrolling and 3D behind the player
Super C - Side scrolling and overhead
Contra III - Side scrolling and overhead
Contra 4 - Side scrolling and 3D behind the player

I only own the four core games, so I don't know how the others are.

im sure that contra shattered soldier on the ps2 dosent have any overhead levels.

The Contra game for the GBA combines side-scrolling levels from Contra III with side-scrolling levels from Contra: Hard Corps and has no overhead levels whatsoever.

Try Contra: Overhead Adventures in Sidescrolling land.

Thanks for the input guys.
Shattered Soldier is one that I've been looking into for awhile.
The one on the GBA seems promising, but I don't own any handhelds.

Try Contra: Overhead Adventures in Sidescrolling land.

Would that be a whacky homebrew that you cooked up?

A Contra game with no overheads? Isn't that Metal Slug?

shattered soldier is great. if you like metal, you'll love the soundtrack.

Contra: Hard Corps on Genesis/Megadrive is a great, and has no overhead levels.

Much better than the GBA Contra.
