The reason they called it Probotector and changed the sprites is because of the German gvt. and their very strict guidelines regarding videogame violence. Basically you weren't allowed to show gore or killing people. So obviously the war theme and the gory alien stuff ran a fowl of these standards.
as kid, i thought it's so awesome, and still with robots fighting other robots and shit is more awesome then playing war with some guys ^^ but dying on 1 hit as robot never made sence to me :-/
Guessing Vietnam was the cause of it being different in other countries... Of course America wasn't all gungho for the war either but oh well... its just a game...
Does that mean it was "Contra" first, and THEN they came up with the idea of "Probotector"?

@DragonRebel0908 which I explained in the video as being a difference in PAL timing...

@NecroVMX Yes, I heard that. I was just stating my opinion on it as I am used to the faster tempo.

And as if one name change wasn't confusing enough, they called the European home computer versions of this Gryzor.
