My fourth Faq\Walkthrough is of the Konami classic, Operation C. There is no
real stoy or point of this game but it is fun none-the-less. I remember back
in the day playing this for the old four battery, green screen gameboys, those
were the days and this was a great game. I never actually beat the final
level until I was much older, due to the rather hard difficulty of this game.
The walkthrough is vary simple and I have some good strategies and helpful
hints that I discovered that I hope prove to be helpful to anyone reading
this. Well, Enjoy!
This Faq\Walkthrough will include:

|| INTRODUCTION ||
<>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<>
Operation C came out in 1991 for Gameboy. It is one of the first Contra games.
It is a side-scroller and a top-down view game in one. Some levels are the
prier and some are the later. You run through levels and destroy alien butt.
There are some neat power-ups, which only one is really useful. Anything
kills you in this game and it's a drag. Although you have lives and
continues, the amount dying you will do when you first play it, it will seem
like not a lot, but when you get good at it, it's more than enough.

|| WALKTHROUGH ||
<>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<>
******************************************************************************
LEVEL: ONE
******************************************************************************
Blast the first two soldiers that run towards you, then angle your gun
diagonally to take out the two gunmen above you on seperate platforms. Shoot
straight again and kill the next two soldiers that come at you. Angle your gun
again and blast the next two gunmen on platforms. That power-up that is
floating above will fly into your gunfire, so don't worry about shooting
upwards to get it. The soldiers behind you will jump down off a ledge, kill
them when the two gunmen are gone by turning backwards, then collect the
power-up, which grants you the three-way rapid shot.
After you get the power-up, keep your gun angled and walk up the inclination.
There will be a cannon firing from above you. Just keep firing and it will
blow up as you pass it, if not, shoot it from below. As for the soldiers that
are now chasing you, just let them until you get to the top of the hill
and then kill them, or when they get too close. Walk along and take out the
gunman on the platform above you while at the same time shooting the flying
power-up. This one gives you an even faster three-way rapid shot. Up ahead
two soldier will jump down onto you from above. Walk with your shot angled
and they should die in the blast. Shoot straight now and blast the turret on
the other side of the gap. Sometimes this fires shots, sometimes it doesn't.
If it does duck the blast but continue to fire. Jump the gap and get ready to
blast another turret.
Jump the second gap and you'll come to an elevator. Walk on it and it takes
you down. Stand in the middle of the elevator and fire upwards. all three or
four of the little flying things that shoot lasers will be destroyed because
they will fly right into your fire. When the elevator stops jump off it. When
you land on the other side two soldiers will come after you from behind. Turn
around and blast them. Walk along the pipe to around the gap and a power-up
will come flying from behind, grab it. This gives you homing shots (from here
on out do not get any other power-ups, the homing missiles are the best
weapon to use), then jump the gap. Fire straight and soon a submarine will
come up from underneath you. The homing shots will fly down and take the
submarine out, you don't even have to point your gun downwards, you can't
anyways withough jumping first.
Jump another gap and do not collect the power-up that comes from behind. Jump
the gap ahead and another submarine will appear below you. The homing
shots take care of it before it gets a chance to fire at you, if you are
holding down fire. Across another gap some soldiers will come after you. Take
care of them as you move along and jump two more gaps. Again, do not get the
power-up that comes, you need the homing shots. You should now be on land
again. Drop down onto the lower floor and move along. Take out two more
soldiers and another turret. Jump the gap but don't move any further. Take
out the cannon above you before moving on and taking out the other turret.
Trying to take them both out at the same time can be troublesome.
Jump the gap and move along. Jump onto some more pipes and run along them.
The soldiers that come for you will be taken out by the homing shots.
Jump one last gap in the piping and you wont be able to move any further
and a large submarine will rise from the bottom. You don't need to angle your
gun, just fire it. Take out the last soldier that tries to get you and then
we fight the submarine. Two cannons will start to fire at you, aim left and
let the shots damage them. The one on the right should blow up and then three
hatches will open up. Fire towards the hatches and blow them up before the
missiles come out. Now the submarine will move right. Fire towards that side
and the second and third cannon along with two more hatches will be destroyed.
Now the submarine sinks away. If you can't manage to kill the parts off in
time the sub dives, some more soldier come to get you, the sub rises and
repeats his pattern, easy!
******************************************************************************
LEVEL: TWO
******************************************************************************
This level is in a top-down view. Walk straight ahead ignoring the two
soldiers that appear behind you. Hold fire down and walk to the right of the
turret. The homing shots will take care of the turret and get the gunman
up ahead too. Go through the opening up ahead, taking care of some more
soldiers, until you come to a clearing. Do not get the power-up that flies in
from the left. Now a tank with two cannons will come in. Position yourself
on the bottom of the screen in the center of the two cannons. When the cannons
fire both shots will miss you. Continously fire the homing shots and the
cannons will blow up at the same time. Walk past the dead tank and ahead are
two more gunmen, take them out.
Move along taking out everything in your path. A long machine will appear on
the right side of the screen. Ignore it for now and head along the left side
of it. When you reach the top end of the machine it will become active. Watch
out for the power-up and the gunman. You see those lines on the ground? Stay
on the one closest to the machine at the top of the screen and fire downwards.
Those soldiers that are constantly regenerating will always be taken out with
the homing shots. As for the machine, the three parts that need to be
destroyed to kill it, two turrets and a grenade launcher will blow off soon
after it activates. When it's gone move down a bit and then move up. You need
to do this so that you get some space to see what is ahead of you, not just
walking blindly into stuff.
Avoid the power-up and enter the left set of rollers. In the center of the
rollers there are some cannons. They shoot diagonal shots, but if you are to
the farthest left you can be they disappear before they touch you. Move along
and take out all three of the cannons. A power-up will appear, you can get it
as it is a homing shot one. At the end of the left rollers is a gunman, but
he easily killed. Head right through a opening and into a clearing. There are
a few more gunmen to take care of then another battle with a tank. This time
the tank comes from beneath you. You can't stay in the center of the cannons
this time though. Stay above the right one, off to the side a bit, so that
you are missed by all three shots. Fire the homing shots and it goes down
in no time flat.
Stay to the right and move along. Take out the two turrets to the left and
the last gunman. You will come up to a big door. Move down and make sure the
door is fully into the screen when you move up or you wont be able to blow a
hole through it. When it is fully in the screen, blast it until you can go
through it. On the other side is a three part machine. A core and two tanks
on either side. The two tanks need to be taken out before the core can be
destroyed. When it moves left try and take out at least one of the cannons on
the right side. Then when it moves right try to take out both cannons on the
left side. Then get the last cannon on the right side. When all four are gone
the core can now take damage. Don't stay under it, as it fires waves of energy
at you, that you probaby discovered. Stay away from it and let the homing
shots go to it. After a while it's history.
******************************************************************************
LEVEL: THREE
******************************************************************************
Were back to side-scrolling. Move along and constantly fire. Anything that
comes in the screen infront of you will be toast. You will come to two gunmen
on platforms above you. The homing shots will track them down and take them
out. Past them you will come to a square on the ground. Walk up to it and a
robot will come out of the ground. Duck its fire and shoot some of your own
into it. When it blows up walk along, the remains don't hurt you. Take out
three more robots and any annoying soldiers that come behind you and you will
come to a part where boulders will come crashing down. Wait for an opening or
take some out to make one and then move in. Shoot the gunman above you and and
remaining soldiers from behind you.
Ahead is a cannon, keep firing and take it out and the gunman too. This next
part has you climbing a bunch of platforms to the top. Just keep jumping
and shooting your homing shots to take care of any gunmen and cannons and
you should make it to the top without hardly any trouble. Just don't fall back
down or you will die. Before the first moving platform there is a cannon
above it, watch out for it. When you're at the top you have to take care of
some more robots that come out the ground and soldiers. When you're past this
avoid the power-up and go until the screen locks and this rather odd looking
thing comes in the screen. Go the right side of the screen and put your back
to it. Hold down the fire button and you should be safe. The homing shots will
take care of any soldiers that come in after you and any ladybugs that the
flying thing will launch at you. If a bug lands on the ground it will come
after you. It will be below your gunfire, so jump it.
When enough damage it dealt the the flyer its bottom half will fall off. Move
back a bit and then move along. This will make it so that you will be able
to see things infront of you and not walk blindly into things. Jump into the
water and take out some soldiers. You'll come to another part with boulders
falling down. Like before, clear a path or wait for one and get to the other
side. keep going until you see the waterfall. Now you must climb up againg.
Do the same thing you did before and get to the top. there will be a homing
shot power-up along this, get it if you want. When you get to the top, with
ease, jump the water from the top. Make sure you get a good run at it
because it is a large gap and many times I fell down.
Further ahead you will come to a cliff and a platform will rise up with a
round thing with guns on it. From the sky that top half of the flyer from
before makes an appearence. Start by firing straight into the left gun infront
of you, you will have to duck in order to avoid its shot. When it gets
really close jump on it. That flying thing will shoot laser beams at you so
jump to the right side of the round thing. Fire into the the other gun until
it gets too close, then jump back on it. Keep firing now and the flying thing
will lose both of its arms. At around this time jump back down on the right
side of the thing your on and fully destroy the right gun. The flying thing
will release bubbles soon and when it does that is the only time you can
damage it. Don't stand under it, you need to be on one of the sides. When
you have the space, jump to the left side and take out the left gun. Now all
the homing shots will focus on the flyer. Soon after it should be gone.
If you don't destroy it fast the flyer will lock into the bottom part and
move around, it doesn't do any attack, it's actually rather poinless.
******************************************************************************
LEVEL: FOUR
******************************************************************************
This is another top-down level. Don't fire all the time at this stage
because there are pods that carry spiders in them and it is best to just
leave them alone. Walk straight up past in-between the first two pods and
avoid that power-up. By now you have accumulated a group of baddies behind you
so turn around and take care of them. Walk past another power-up and two more
pods, remember just walk right past them. There is a pod up ahead that acts
like a fork in the road. Take the right way. Move along the right side of the
partition and take care of one bug crawling around. When the roads merge
again, avoid the power-up, blast another bug in your way and move past another
three pods. When you are past all three pods turn around and clear all the
baddies behind you.
Up ahead a snake thing will shoot out of the left side. The only safe way to
pass it is on the far right side. Pass it and kill the spider left of the
pod. Move around the pod and kill the bug crawling around. Pass another snake
and take out another spider. To the left is another pod, you must take this
one out in order to pass through. Do it and pass to the left of the snake.
Move up and pass another three snakes before coming to two skakes that
are close together on either side. Move to the right and move as close to the
second snake with out touching it and the first one should stop moving. Move
left and pass them. Up ahead is a set of three snakes. Use the same manouver
as before to pass all three of them.
Move ahead and incounter a wierd looking insect. Stand infront of its eye,
not too close, but close enough to avoid its laser that it shoots from its
behind. When it shuffles left shoot left, when it shuffles right shoot right
and when it comes center with you shoot straight. The homing shots take care
of the spores it sends after you. When it shuffles faster it is near death.
Then gone.
******************************************************************************
LEVEL: FIVE
******************************************************************************
Back to side-scrolling. Move right holding down the fire button. Blast any
soldiers that get in your way. When you come to a sentry gun posted on the
ceiling wait for a gap in its firing and then run underneath it. Fire upwards
and take it out. Forwards are a bunch of test tubes. You can see those spider
things inside them, when you get near they will jump out. The homing shots
will take them out before they hit the ground. When you're done with them
another sentry gun awaits you. Blow it up and tackle some more test tubes.
Past them are two sentry guns, just make sure to watch out for the soldiers
that come pouring in at this part, even from behind you. Now you come to a
dead end, nowhere to go but up.
Blast the gunman above you and jump to his platform. Now you need continuous
fire at this part. Jump to the left and a gunman will appear to the right.
Take him out and then jump to the right. The test tube to the left will break
now and a spider will jump out. When he is gone jump up and kill another
gunman to the right. Jump right and take out the spider that comes out of the
test tube. There is a power-up that will float by, don't get it. Jump up a
few more platforms and you're at the top. Take out the last gunman and jump
to the far right. You can now move right again. Run along and blast all the
soldiers that come into the screen.
You will come to more test tubes and annoying spiders. This set of tubes are
longer and contains a power-up, avoid it. Past them is another sentry gun but
it shoots way faster then the previous ones. Pass its shots and blow it up
from underneath. Move on and there is a set of sentry guns. If you stand
directly underneath the fist one the second one can pick you off. Stand a
little to the left underneath it and the homing shots will blow them up. Walk
along and you will come to another dead end. Jump up until you come to this
long platform right of a test tube. It may not look like it but it is an
elevator. Jump in the air and it should start to move up.
Hold down the fire button and stay to the far right. As you rise some spiders
will break from test tubes and soldiers will jump at you from above, waste
them. When you come to this square looking thing, come to the center of the
elevator. The square will shoot an electric beam, duck to avoid this. There
are only around six or so electric beam boxes, when you get past them all
the elevator stops. In-between each electric box there may or may not be
baddies, so keep that gun firing. When the elevator stops jump up to the
left, be vigilant there is one more spider that jumps from a test tube above.
Get rid of him and jump to the far right above.
Move right and destroy three sentry guns, remember don't stand directly
underneath them, the one next to it can hit you. Past them are some domes on
the ceiling that open up and release bubbles down at you. Wait until you have
popped each one before moving on. There are around five of these things. Be
cautious and move slow to pop all the bubbles. In the next area is a robot
that comes out of a compartment in the floor. Continue to fire homing shots
into him. He will fly over head and land where you are, so run to the right.
He will launch missiles from his back. Get to the wall and jump when the
missile is just about to hit you to avoid the blast. He will then jump back
on the right and give you some more missiles. This time the pattern that he
launches the missiles is different but how to avoid it is not. When he has
taken enough damage he will launch his arms at you. Duck and they will pass
over your head to the ceiling. When he is done launching missiles at you they
will come back down to him, duck again. If you kept constant fire on him with
the homing shots he will blow up shortly.
When he is gone, to the right a passage will open up. Go in it and get past
the lightning traps on the ground. Don't walk over them when they're on.
You will come to a giant test tube and a little ball thing inside, crack that
thing open and watch it fry. When it is gone you have beaten your mission and
make your escape in a helicopter.
