Developed by Factor 5 and published by Konami, Probotector 2 arrived on the Game Boy as a shooter.

It is part of the Contra series; on the Game Boy you can also try Operation C, Contra III: The Alien Wars and Contra: The Alien Wars. The series also appears on other systems with Contra III: The Alien Wars (SNES) and Contra Force (NES). Factor 5 also made Animaniacs for the Game Boy.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the Game Boy hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you are not a fan of fast-paced aiming and twitch reflexes
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Probotector 2 is like

Shooters are built around aiming and firing, from first-person corridor blasters and light-gun games to run-and-gun stages and multidirectional arcade shooters.

Tip for newcomers: Retro shooters were designed for CRT TVs and original controllers; light-gun games in particular need special hardware or alternative controls on modern screens.
