As a kid, I didn't even know Contra. All I knew was Probotector. One of my first games. I could beat this any time without using a single continue or the Konami code. I actually learned about the Konami code just this year. Great game!
I think I like the Probotector versions a lot. Gun shooting robots are badass!
Now, don't get me wrong. The Contra guys Bill and Lance are very badass, too! In fact, I think they a couple of the best Konami characters ever in existence. I just think that the robotic replacements look very cool and very serious and very awesome!
@TheChoujinVirus the reason they look like face huggers is because the guy responsible for the designs of the aliens from well the alien series also designed these lot in contra
he wasn't given a final boss roll until later but, black viper is still a close cousin to red falcon, red falcon may be the main antagonist in most contra games, but once you et to like contra four, black viper could destroy red falcon
the fact that the game replays is amazing. It gets harder too... by like the 4th time through, so many guys come on the screen that the game starts slowing down.
Regional differences. Names get changed due to censorship, copyright issues, and cultural differences that publishers think will affect marketing and such. Strange decisions have been made for older games.
its hard at first....but once u get used to it...u knw waz comin up next....its hw Konami designed their games in the early days...or even now....with a lot of playin u knw waz comin
Actuly, because of how the game reads hits, since the spread gun shoots 5 shots aton once and all of them hit, and you can shoot them as fast as you can tap the button, it's very easy to beat bosses if you have the weapon. If your play a game call Enhander, use the spread againts bosses, it's the very same trick. The shot themself's are weak on there own, but hit all at once and it's more powerful then some of the bigger weapons.
I can't beat Super C without the 30 lives code. God that game is hard. Most of the bosses are easy, it's just the levels that are hell. Good job. (I hated those base levels in this one)

If playing via emulator you can force 50 hz game to 60 or over.
The music here is matching contra 60 hz and not the Probotector 50 hz.

but in stage 3 u miss some seconds.
if u correct ur positioning u kill the boss a bit faster.

I think Konami just sped up the music for the Pal version so it didn't sound slow. They did that for Castlevania 3 as well.
