I know that Contra HC and Probotector are basically the same game... I have Contra HC, but never had the chance to see more from Probotector than the intro (which seems to be different to Contra).

Are there big differences between the two (other than Probo being the US/Euro (?) version)? Is Probotector censored in any way?

I'm talking about the Genesis versions of both games.

I think Euro version replaces all the human fighters into robotic ones.

EGM used to discuss this funny issue in their old old game magazine issue ...

i got contra hc in japanese and probotector
probotector is shit
first of all the 3 life point has diseapered that makes the game too fucking hard(i know it s the same stupid thing in us version)
second all the storyline who is the direct sequel of contra spirits (the alien cell,the general bahamut...) have been changed
here it s the story of the virux X stole by robots
and at last like in every probotector's game the human characters and ennemys have been changed into robots

contra rulezzzzzzz

Thanks LS and Sets.

Yeah, just as I thought. Thank god I bought the JAP version.

Censorship sucks so much it hurts. Just like in Zero Tolerance, the continental Euro version had aliens, while other versions had human enemies.

Could you believe that German authorities even censored and x-rated games like Silent Service on C=64, not to mention Quake, Doom, Castle Wolfenstein, Duke...?! It's even forbidden for German gaming mag publishers to print the names of censored games!

You should see the members of our censorship comission, just a bunch of weedy, low-brained shitheads who like to see porn movies and x-rate them afterwards... <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">

That is horrible. Something's rotten when the press can't even mention a censored game. It is so Big Brotherish.
