Contra Force is a run-and-gun-style shoot-'em-up video game released by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992 in North America only. It is a spin-off of the Contra series and the third game in the series released for the NES (following the home versions of the original Contra and Super C). In contrast to previous Contra titles, which featured sci-fi elements, Contra Force centers on a modern task force who must fight human terrorists instead. The game was originally scheduled to be released as an unrelated game in Japan titled Arc Hound (アークハウンド?), however that version was canceled and instead Konami localized the game for a North American release as a Contra spinoff.

MTV (originally an initialism of Music Television) is an American basic cable and satellite television channel owned by the MTV Networks Music & Logo Group, a unit of the Viacom Media Networks division of Viacom. The channel is headquartered in New York City, New York. Launched on August 1, 1981, the original purpose of the channel was to play music videos guided by television personalities known as "video jockeys," or VJs. In its early years, MTV's main target demographic were young adults, but today, MTV's programming is primarily targeted at adolescents and teenagers in addition to young adults. MTV has spawned numerous sister channels in the U.S. and affiliated channels internationally, some of which have gone independent. MTV's influence on its audience, including issues related to censorship and social activism, has been a subject of debate for years. As of August 2013, approximately 97,654,000 American households (85.51% of households with television) receive MTV.
