Super Probotector Alien Rebels
Can anyone remeber this little gem? Unfair difficulty, oversized guns, unlimited ammo, pumpin' tracks, giant bosses with impressive sprite manipulation...this game was fun on a plate, and was rarely taken out of my SNES. And the co-op mode in this game puts many new game's to shame.

Here are some screens:

That's the European version of Contra if I'm not mistaken. I believe they switched the main characters with robots so that it wouldn't look as violent. In any case I'm quite certain that it was due to censorship, and other changes were made as well.

Anyway...yes, Contra is awesome.

Oh, so this is Contra 3? Dunno why they had to change the title, but the robots are inarguably cooler.
