Do you want the genuine answer? After all, I certainly don't expect "modern day" adults to understand the references being made in 1984, more than forty years ago.

>Contra
>Spanish: La contrarrevolución, (the counter-revolution)
>"The Contra were right-wing militia in Nicaragua that waged anti-communistic guerilla war against the Sandinista National Liberation Front from 1979-1990 after its revolution."
>"For eleven years, the Contras' counter-revolutionary war against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua featured terrorism and human rights violations against the civilian population of Nicaragua."
>The U.S. granted them support since the Reagan Doctrine also was anti-communist (as all of USA was), claiming their terrorism wasn't against civilians. US support was required to be covert operations, rarely public.
>The Wohl photographs (published with Newsweek), traveling with the Contras, became famous and were titled "Execution in the Jungle." It depicted immense gore and praised horrifying acts of contemptible murder without emotion.
>Eventually, the Contras' leader was publicly executed for his immoral acts.

Contra (by Konami 1987) is a direct reference to the Nicaraguan "La Contrarevolucion," opening to covert operation execution attacks in the jungle. The ending theme was titled "Sandinista" (サンディニスタ): the real-life communist enemies of the Contras.
