I finally get to play super Contra

for ages on the internet I havee been seeing people play contra and super contra and have been looking for my copy over here in europe search Amazon and virtual console to no avail but hell the game looked fun i just figured it was super rare cue my amazement the other day when i was on the virtual console when i saw a game tittled Super Probotector: Alien Rebels and began thinking what on earth is this when i begun checking it on wikipedia i find out it was the european version of contra was called Probotector and the version i was looking for on the snes was called Super probotector: alien rebels. It makes me wonder what was going through the marketing departs min in the ''pal region'' when they decided to use this bizarre name all around the world it was called Contra with an add on I just cant understand why anyone would change that name and why they would use the name probotector i could just see the young me struggling to even say that name heaven help me writing it on a list to father Christmas,

anyway i have only played the game breifly and another thing we europeans got screwed over on is there is not cheat code  to help us get more lives this game is already well known for its hard difficulty and you remove the one life line some beginners have heres a video of someone playing it for the first time with the 30 level cheat



but its rock hard i admit i have as much chance of completing this as I do waking up in the morning having both my girlfreind and Ezri Dax and Ace from doctor who wanting me with a winning lottery ticket for £1000000000000000000 , but it is fun
