Does the diminutive adventure bring the big guns?
Let's just get this out of the way now: if you like the NES games, you'll probably dig this entry. Operation C isn't an adaptation or a port (arguably); it is an old-school Contra game. It may lack in a few notable areas, but you'll largely enjoy it. Operation C does a pretty good job of sticking to...

Poll Box Art Brawl - Operation C / Probotector (Game Boy)
Operation Brawl
Well howdy y'all, and welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Last week, we looked at Forsaken for the N64, which yes, we'll admit wasn't the most inspiring duo of box art designs.

About The Game
YOU'RE UP AGAINST A COLD BLOODED SNAKE OF AN ENEMY!
Red Falcon had devoured a portion of this planet and now the vile Black Viper has come from deep space for seconds. But he hasn't come alone. Viper's transported a battalion of battletron tanks, stealth subs, laser cannons, and annihilating androids. And he's seized a secret naval lab to develop a new breed of supreme alien being. So Scorpion stands alone against biological experiments gone bad like towering tarantulas and venomous vesty files. His mission: level the lab before Biper transforms earth into an alien nation.
Although he may be a solo commando, Scorpion has an array of devastating weapons at his disposal like a M-90 Shell Shocker, Fire Phazer and Homing Blaster. But it will take more than sheer firepower to survive five new lethal levels of naval ports, forests, caverns and a laboratory filled with genetic mutants. You're got a snowball's chance in Haiti of making it!
Of course, that's the way Scorpion likes it!
