Operation C (コントラ kontora?) is an original scrolling shooter and platform game released in 1991 by Konami for the Nintendo Game Boy. It is the third game in the Contra series. Its European and Australian title is Probotector.
The game was rereleased in 1997 and 2001 as part of Konami GB Collection. The 2001 rendition was exclusively for the Game Boy Color and only on sale in Europe. That collection contained a colorized version of Operation C that used a very unglamourous palette. The title screen remained as Probotector while the main characters were portrayed as human, instead of robots as they normally are portrayed in the Probotector releases.
[edit] Storyline
Set between the events of Super Contra and Contra III: The Alien Wars. An undisclosed hostile nation has taken a sample of an alien's cell with the purpose of developing new kinds of biological weapons. The Federation's chief gives a confidential order to veteran alien fighter, Bill Rizer, to prevent this plan. Bill Rizer manages to break forth into a research facility located on an island in the South Pacific, destroying all perimeter defenses and eventually obliterating the alien cell that was being harvested.
[edit] Gameplay
The game has a total of five levels, many of which share design similarities to Super Contra. There are two overhead levels, and the remaining are either side or vertically scrolling. The music, with the exception of a few songs, is mostly taken directly from the first Contra.
