I was surfing the internet the other day (as I often do) and came across this small image file in a message board that made me smile. Enjoy it with your eyes.

If only it was a movie.
I have to say that, now that I see the CONTRA box again, I can’t believe I didn’t see these similarities before. I mean, they basically just traced over Arnold and gave him a sad-face and headband. The Stallone impersonator is more subtle, but that’s because he’s wearing a vest.
I honestly haven’t played CONTRA in forever, but I didn’t even remember there being an alien in the game. I just remember a lot of soldier type guys who you would shoot with rectangle bullets and possibly ninjas (all games back then had ninjas). Maybe he was at the end or something, I was never very good at it so I didn’t progress much past the second level.
