Contra and Super C

Mip · 19th July 2007

When do u think these NES classics are coming to VC?
I'd love to see Contra ASAP but I'm not that sure am I buying Super C.
Any1 has something rly good to say about Super C??

jesse1596 · 19th July 2007

I liked contra more than super C. After awhile I was able to beat Contra without using the 30 man code. It was a great game. It's on the xbox live arcade right now but I would love to see it on VC.

ICEknight · 19th July 2007

If you're already used to the X-Box Live version... just don't expect to like its NES port the same.

Nintendo should really put up a "Virtual Arcade" for those games that were in the arcades, instead of giving us some of the inferior ports (they even released the NES Gradius instead of the much better TurboGrafx version, by the way).

Jazzem · 19th July 2007

In all fairness though, doesn't the NES version have an extra level or two?

jesse1596 · 19th July 2007

The NES version has 8 levels and think the NES gradius is great and I downloaded it as soon as it comes out mind you I have never played the turbographix 16 gradius and I owned the NES one in the 80's.

Yes

ICEknight · 19th July 2007

Contra = Probotector
Super C = Probotector 2
Contra 3 = Super Probotector
Contra Hard Corps = Probotector (yes, again)

SKTTR · 19th July 2007

one of which was called Probotector II (again) - developed by Factor 5

and there was a home computer version called...
aww. man what was it called?
Gy.. Gyroid.. Gyroscope.. Gyrospita?

Edit: Searched through my library of Commodore 64 games... Gryzor - That was my first Contra game ^^

No no, I was reffering back to the original question. I prefer Super C as a game. The name is riitarded.

That's how the arcade was called in Europe, too. So only Nintendo is to blame (or praise?) for the robot makeup, I guess.

It would be kinda cool to see the probotectors making appearances in the new Contra games, by the way.

SKTTR · 20th July 2007

Nintendo was better off with robots because Gryzor was banned in Europe!
Therefore the only wise choice was to change the rambos into robots.

hehehe... hey look at that!!
i found some other old Contra versions..

MSX (the one that also comes for VC)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-H7McvCHZQ
it has not even scrolling and loading times between each screen!

ZX Spectrum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW4gkNGGf8M
wow! wonderful colors. this thing was capable of something!

Amstrad CPC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRvwYtEFnNs
come on whats that? this is so confusing! i cant get used to this one.

Screw them all, bring out my C64 one

Jazzem · 20th July 2007

Are you sure it was Nintendo who did it? I thought it was to do with trouble releasing it in Germany, due to the humans-violence thing.

I actually prefer the robots, funnily enough. I could do without the Probotector name though!

SKTTR · 20th July 2007

ermm no.. ICEknight came up with that and i followed like a blind dog. ^^
sorry the excitement... the new vc releases...

its a konami game. so it was konamis choice to change it.
anyway. everyones better off with that.
if they didnt made the change, EU wouldnt have gotten any contra at all.

ICEknight · 20th July 2007

Nintendo might have had something to do with the change to Probotector, but it was just a guess.

After all, they were indeed responsibles for the censorship in games such as Castlevania (religious icons) or Maniac Mansion (partial nudity in a statue).

In super castlevania IV they sensored nblood, changed it green

**Kevin** · 22nd July 2007

The original. I always found that one more enjoyable.

yoshi175 · 22nd July 2007

I've only played super probotector

Balrog · 27th July 2007

I have Super C but it isn't working right... I'll try to get it to work though, then try to add more to this.

I lost my Contra a LONG time ago.

I have no other Contra anymore (which is horrible)

I WANT CONTRA 4

Haha

Contra forme, only game i got to play im sorry to say :P

pocketmego · 6th September 2007

Contra and all its 8 and 16 Bit sequels are what make Video Games GREAT!

The only reason I choose Super C over Contra is that I prefer the Top Down levels of Super C over the Pseudo 3-d Levels of the original. But, they are both almost equal in greatness to me.
