Have you ever actually beaten #Contra?

If so (or even if not 🤷‍♂️), #TheVideoGameLibrary recently catalogued this rare #ChooseYourOwnAdventure novel.

It was published by Konami back in 1988, and follows an original story with characters Bill and Lance.

So excited to see more #Famicom love; this time from Joe Bourrie's upcoming book "Beyond the NES"! ❤️

In addition to Dustin Hansen's gorgeous cover art, this book celebrates the Famicom's rich library, and is inspired by classic gaming mags of yesteryear.
