Save the earth by taking out the trash!

The vile alien war monger Red Falcon has set his sinister sights on the planet Earth. First, his inter-galactic warriors will seep into the brains of America's Armed Forces. Then it's on to a full-scale annihilation of Earth's 5 billion (give or take a million) innocent inhabitants.

Now only you, Scorpion, and your fellow Super Commando Mad Dog can cut this carnage off at the pass. But to get through Red's five merciless mazes of terror you must combine super survival skills and ferocious firepower with cunning, instincts and good old-fashioned guts.

• Featuring all the action and powerful graphics of the popular arcade version.

• Five challenging levels of adventure, each with its own seemingly unstoppable terminal terror at the end.

• Besides wiping out Red Falcon, you must rack up a high score to guarantee enshrinement in the Super Commando Hall of Fame.

• Side views and overhead war perspectives.

• Numerous weapons can be obtained, including the Machine Gun, Spread Gun and Laser. Alien-blasting power can also be increased with the help of a Mega Shell.

• Simultaneous play for two players teams Scorpion and Mad Dog in battle against Red Falcon, or go one on one against the vile one yourself.

Shoot First and forget about the questions!

After losing a confrontation against Super Commandos Mad Dog and Scorpion, the juices of destruction drip from the spiked tongue of the vile alien war monger-- Red Falcon.

Now, he's coming back stronger than ever, with a sinister plan that includes having his intergalactic warriors seep into the brains of the U.S. army. To support his disguised forces of doom, he's recruited Jagger Froid, a demented alien from the Black Hole Galaxy. He's also shuttled in The Babalu Destructoid Mechanism with its Beam of Death.

With torrential terror about to rain down upon civilization, Earth's only hope rests with you, Scorpion, and your pal, the Dogster. And if your spread guns, lasers, flame throwers, and mega shells fail to destroy Red Falcon's eight levels of terror, inlcluding radioactive lava fields, it's all over but the shouting, the screaming, and the cries from a disintegrating world.

Featuring simultaneous play for two players, or play against the computer.

PROBOTECTOR IIRETURN OFTHE EVIL FORCES™

The aliens are back!
In the year 2634, the Earth has finally escaped from the hand of black magic, one year after the end of the war with a mysterious alien army, or has it?
One day, a strange radio message comes in from General Hal of the federation troops as he is heading for the base ruins in South America in preparation for the seventh GX army manoeuvres.
"Friendly GX troops have suddenly turned their attack on us. No, it can't be!! They're not human! They must be..."
The message cut off there. The commanding officers of the federation troops feel very strange about this message from the general and so dispatch Probotector RD008 and RC011, the strongest fighting robots in history, to find him. A helicopter carrying the two units is sent out on a top secret mission. When it gets close to the site of manoeuvres, it lands, drops off the two units, and takes off again immediately. Just then, from out of the shadows come soldiers on the attack. But they are not soldiers! They are robots! The nightmare of one year ago has returned. The mutant alien life forms that were believed destroyed are alive again.
Now they control the GX army, have built fighting robots and are planning to take over the world!
Once again the fight to the death between the Probotector and the aliens has begun!
For 1 player against NES or 2 players simultaneously.
