Contra: Hard Corps (Genesis) Playthrough - Ray

Playthrough of Contra: Hard Corps for the Sega Genesis with the Hit Point system from the Japanese version.
Path taken: Go after Deadeye Joe / Fight Till the End plus the hidden Battle Arena.
Final Boss: Alien Queen & Heart

Each of the 4 characters in this game plays differently. Ray is perhaps the most balanced of the four and his weapons load out is far from the worst.
