Have to disagree with Contra at No. 2. 3 lives is plenty if you play smart and upgrade to the right weapons - lazer or spreadgun - and it's not like 3 lives is the ceiling; you can stockpile them by not dying through the first few stages, which are all cake.
I have beaten this game many times without using the classic Contra cheat code. But, the game IS more fun when you cheat because you can throw away lives at will and try to be really creative.
And the end boss, the big pulsating heart? Come on. So easy.
