Probotector II – Return of the Evil Forces is the European release of Konami’s classic run-and-gun shooter Super C for the NES. Due to regional censorship policies, the original human commandos were swapped for robotic heroes, while the relentless, fast-paced action remained fully intact. Serving as a direct sequel, this entry retains the tight platforming and varied power-ups of its predecessor while introducing challenging top-down stages alongside the traditional side-scrolling levels.
How to Play
Your objective is to blast through hordes of alien forces and challenging bosses without taking a single hit. The standard NES controls map to your browser: use the arrow keys to move and aim in eight directions, X to jump, and Z to shoot. Press Enter for Start and Shift for Select.
Tips
- The Spread Gun (S) is arguably the most powerful weapon in the game; grab it whenever possible to cover a wide area and safely hit enemies from multiple angles.
- During the top-down stages, keep moving and utilize diagonal firing to control crowds of approaching enemies.
- Remember that your jump height can be controlled by how long you hold the jump button, which is crucial for dodging enemy fire and navigating tricky platforms.
