    I'll support the above position. Buy it if it's cheap. I have it for PC, and it has managed to keep my attention, but it's nothing special.

    So it goes.

    It was one of the first games I got for my DC, but it was way to hard to see what was going on, and this was on a 32" tv with s-video inputs. It's a fine way to round out a complete collection, but don't go out of your way for it.

    It's got true oldschool feel, but it is a fun game--lots of action and weapon upgrades, explosions etc. There are nice cheats for it also if you are into those sorts of things. Overall, a fun game tho, get it.
    DC--- It's STILL thinking....!!

    I consider it a poor mans Cannon Spike. My biggest complaint with the game us its too hard to hit enemies without getting hit.

    Expendable DC is a very kool Contra clone. Its basically what Contra SHOULD have been on PSone but with DC caliber graphics smooth with nice explosions particle effects etc.
    I picked up a copy for $5.00 and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the game.
    Its not easy to find so I would suggest picking it up.
