I played the first Wai Wai World game a few months back, and while it was alright, it had massive room for improvement. Getting all the most famous Konami characters together in one crossover platformer is a great idea, and I hope this sequel comes closer to doing the concept justice.

Probotector II - Return of the Evil Forces (NES)
Super Adventures in Gaming Replay - Game 5
I wrote about the Amiga version of Super Contra (aka Super C) just over a year ago, and besides pointing out that it looked a bit shit, I really didn't say much of anything about it. But I know a Contra fan who was... unhappy with my post. After all it's a critically acclaimed and well respected title, I should at least explain why I didn't like it.
But just for a change I'm going to play the NES port instead. The European version in fact, where everyone is a robot.
Return of the Evil Forces™... oh no, not those bastards again! That's not the Robocop font by the way, I checked.
But is that a doughnut next to the '1 Player' option?

Super C (Amiga)
ATTENTION: THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN RECLASSIFIED AS BEING 'A BIT CRAP'. |

You can find my second look at the game (and its various ports) here instead: Probotector II (NES). |
Time to play something respectable.
Super C, a port of the classic 1988 Konami arcade game Super Contra. Reasonably highly regarded too I believe.
