The Game Boy port of the popular NES title is, essentially, a side-scrolling shooter. You play a Rambo-esque character that goes around shooting everything in sight, collecting weapon upgrades and bonuses.

There is also the occasional platform element such as jumping puzzles, moving platforms etc., and the mandatory end-level boss.

In Germany, the player charakter is replaced by a cyborg/robot, like in every Contra-game in Germany. Also the name "Contra" is replaced by "Probotector"
