How to unlock the Irresistible Force achievement in Contra Anniversary Collection - Definitive Guide

Even though you can add a bunch of credits, you don't have unlimited continues. Because of that, I recommend saving often. You can save at any point so don't be afraid to abuse the heck out of that.

I don't understand the thing about the credits. I added 150 credits but i still only had 2 lives per continue. Then i made it to the end and ran out of continues. Why don't i have 150 lives?

Yeah, I had the same thought. I don't know why they'd let me pump it full of quarters but limit my continues. In any case, you can save scum til your hearts content.

I think he means in the actual, physical arcade cabinets. You can't adjust this version.

Anyone know if this will pop if you play the JP version?

This was Konami's way to sort of forcing people to keep playing with only limited amount of credits and improve your own skills to finally be so good you can beat it. Konami's Arcade games has hidden DIP switches inside their ROM that allow you to change that particular setting, so that you can either have limited or unlimited continues. Another game that has the same kind of cruel setting is Asterix.

As a PSA: I beat the Japanese version of Contra Arcade and it did not unlock the achievement.

Before starting the passage, in the main menu of the game in the settings, set the insert coin function to R2, otherwise you simply will not be able to start the passage
