Contra is a run and gun video game developed and published by Konami, originally released as a coin-operated arcade game on February 20, 1987. A home version was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988, along with ports for various computer formats, including the MSX2. The home versions were localized in the PAL region as Gryzor on the various computer formats and as Probotector, where everyone is a robot and you play as RD008 and RD011 instead of Bill Rizer and Lance Bean, in Germany, as they have a law that prohibits using any form of violence in video games, released later. Several Contra sequels were produced following the original game.
