Sophomore year is drawing to a close so I'll be able to tend the blog a little. This episode focuses on some of the games in the Contra series and its UK counterpart Probotector because of relegations on depictions of humans killing each other in war.

The first video is Gryzor which was PurrfectTrio's very first overall episode. At a time, there was that gay as time limit Youtube had on the vids so it had to be split in four. Now had the channel been created a year or two sooner, it would have been grandfathered as part of the unlimited time account from the start. As shown here that it contains lots of things not in the US or EU version like swaying trees in level 1, snowfall in level 5, and the moving stage of level 8. It did however lack the the congratulatory message but did show the guys boarding the chopper to take off. Also, this is around that time where ContentID starting to make itself a thorn as it was impossible to post your favorite song as an intro most of the time without a claim being made.

Next up we have the sequel Super C which Konami didn't care for to put a claim on anywhere so that got a free pass.

And now we got the best Contra game of all time which is Contra 3 played on Hard mode to get the full ending.

Now it's time for the Probotector series. Here is Probotector 1 and 2. Super Probotector will be a future episode. All human characters player or foe were altered to look like robots or aliens including the boss of level 6 in Probotector 1.

Before I end part 1, here is a bonus video. My sisters' paternal grandpa used to run an arcade before any of us were born but he still had a lot of PCBs left over from it's closure so here is Contra 1 being played off a PCB supergun.

That's all for now. Future episode of 1.21 GoG will include: A look at the Gradius series but I'm a wait till Life Force/Salamander for NES is done, a little bit more Contra, early days of SNK and Capcom.
