    verschil tussen probotector & contra

    hoi,

    vroeger heb ik die contra op mijn NES gehad, en onlangs zag ik op websites screens van probotector (nooit gehad die),en leek me klak hetzelfde, enkel het mannetje waarmee je speelde zag er anders uit.


    can somebody clarify this?

    wellicht was de één amerikaanse versie, en de andere de japanse?

    In USA noemt het spel idd Contra, in EU was het Probotector.
    Ook op Megadrive hebben de 2 versies 2 # namen.
    Op MD zijn het in ieder geval dezelfde spellen. Das trouwens nog altijd mn favoriet, Contra Hard Corpse.
    De Contra spellen zijn altijd serieus moeilijk, Contra Shattered Soldier is absurd moeilijk.

    Onze vriend de Wiki brengt altijd raad:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_%28series%29
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_%28arcade_game%29

    en

    edit: oops toch een verschil:

    Probotector and censoring
    The early console versions of Contra (and sequels to the console versions) were released as Probotector in Europe and Australia. In this version the two main characters (and many humanoid looking enemies in the NES versions) were changed to robots - despite the fact the original arcade version was released uncensored under the Gryzor title in those territories. One reason may be that Konami was concerned about worry over violent games in Europe; another theory is that they feared Germany's so-called "Bundesprüfstelle", an institution that watches newly released media to possibly forbid the selling of a game. In the 1980s and 1990s, dozens of games in which people are killed in order to progress (e.g. Rambo III), were added to an index that meant they were not allowed to be advertised or displayed in stores, and they could be only bought on request by people over 18 years old. Relegation to this index would have meant commercial disaster. Contra: Hard Corps for Mega Drive (known merely as Probotector) was the last Contra to be released under the Probotector label, while the next one in the series, Contra: Legacy of War, became the first one to remain as a Contra game in these terrotories.

    Zaten ze er ook niet mee in dat het spel Contra qua personages te sterk deed denken aan de films Predator en Aliens? Althans dat is een gerucht dat ik ooit eens heb gelezen lang lang geleden...

    Vooral in 'Contra 3: The Alien wars' zitten veel creatures die zo uit 'Alien' lijken te stappen.

    Btw die Jap Contra versie met health bar...dat sloopt de mythe wel dat Japanse gamers meer hardcore zijn.
