Limited Run #446: Contra Anniversary Collection Classic Edition (PS4)

The Konami Code won't help you find this one on store shelves. The Limited Run #446: Contra Anniversary Collection Classic Edition for PS4 brings the franchise's legendary run-and-gun history into a package that channels the silver-box era of Konami's peak. The classic Konami silver box with art by Tom Dubois is an instant conversation piece, evoking the premium packaging that made NES games feel like events.

Inside, a physical copy with reversible cover art gives you display options, while the Contra Anniversary Collection Soundtrack CD lets you blast those iconic tracks outside the game. A reversible 18"x24" poster pulls double duty, and a retro style dust sleeve keeps everything protected. This collection spans the full arc of Contra's history, from the arcade original through the 16-bit golden age.

For PS4 collectors, the disc-based era produced some of the best physical special editions we've seen, and this Classic Edition sits comfortably in that tradition. Tom Dubois' artwork alone makes this worth tracking down. The man understood how to make box art feel cinematic.

If you've ever held down the fire button and run right without flinching, this belongs with you.
