Summary
Probotector 2 is the European incarnation of Contra: The Alien Wars for the Game Boy, where the iconic human commandos are swapped for sleek robot avatars and even the enemy troops get a metallic makeover. Apart from the visual overhaul, the core stages mirror the SNES original, but a few quirks set it apart: the boss that appears in the Mode 7 segment was completely redesigned, the classic weapon‑swap mechanic disappears, and the signature spinning attack is nowhere to be found. Playing the cartridge on a Super Game Boy unlocks a splash of colour and a richer soundtrack, giving the handheld version a surprisingly vibrant feel. These tweaks make Probotector 2 feel both familiar and fresh, a neat blend of faithful porting and regional flair.
Storyline
Probotector 2 on Game Boy puts you in the shoes of a lone defender battling an alien invasion that spans six distinct stages. Each level ramps up the threat, forcing you to adapt your tactics as the extraterrestrials push deeper into Earth’s defenses. In PAL territories the game was released under the name Super Probotector: Alien Rebels. German regulations against violent titles for minors required the original human protagonists to be swapped out for robot heroes, RD‑008 and RC‑011, who lead the resistance against the invaders. The change gave the game a distinct robotic flavor while preserving the core alien‑fighting action.
