Super Contra, known as Super Contra: The Alien Strikes Back[a] in Japan, is a run and gun video game by Konami, originally released as a coin-operated arcade video game in January 1988.[2] It is the sequel to the original Contra and part of the Contra series. The game stars Bill Rizer and Lance Bean as they are sent to thwart another alien invasion from the vicious Red Falcon.
It was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System under the shortened title of Super C in North America and as Probotector II: Return of the Evil Forces in Europe. Both the arcade version and the NES version have been re-released for various other platforms since their original releases.
