quote:
1. Shattered Soldier has information on a game called Operation C. I've never heard of this game. What is it? What system was it released on, and approximately when?
Operation C is the game-boy game. It isn't half bad, features the popular Hayanos Robot, but it isn't as well known as all of the classic ones.
quote:
2. I don't see anything about Super C (unless that is actually Operation C). If it's not Operation C what is it? What's it's story?
Super C is the second game, (arcade version highly recommended, famicom version also good but too easy). They do mention it, it was the incident in South America (New Nicaragua, I think?) Essentially what happened was that the people at the military base went wild and started to attack the surrounding areas, and to prevent a panic, the Government kept it quiet and sent Bill and Lance in to deal with it; only after they arrived did they see that the Aliens were back for more, and in fact were more established (even a Gyabba was there, and it's essentially the alien Emperor).. don't remember if they issued a "SUBMIT NOW OR WE WILL CLEANSE THE EARTH!" ultimatum like they did in the original (although they were speaking through the organization "Red Falcon" at the time... the name is frequently applied to the aliens since that, although technically the aliens are un-named as a species) Many people mistake Contra 3 for "Super C", because it's for the Super Famicom/SNES, but it isn't... that was the one were the aliens got tired of dicking around and mounted a full-scale invasion, crushing Earth's population (man, after this AND the defense system disaster, just how many people are left? And there Bill goes, just shooting all of these people working for Lance, ha ha ha.. :D) resulting in the death of another Gyabba, throwing the aliens in to disarray.
quote:
3. What info does the SS database not include about the games that it includes in it's story rundown?
Just lots of little info, like the alien and human soldier names, the way the aliens function, etc... the aliens have a group mind, BTW, and they are very mutable ( as if that isn't obvious from the variety of them..their ships and crap are different mutations of the same species) This can be used as an excuse for the design changes in some aliens, too (like how Gomeramos King got eyes, and the Kemkous became smaller)
quote:
4. Besides the crappy 32-bit Contras, are there any other Contra games not represented in the database?
Nope, they even mention Hard Corps/Hard Core, which is kind of the "odd man out" of the series (although still excellent)
quote:
5. And finally, is the running robot boss from Stage 2 of Shattered Soldier the same running robot from Contra Hard Corps (can't remember the stage)?
Nope, it isn't (stage 2/path 2 in Hard Corps, operated by Dead Eye Joe) However, the robot IS a reference to another opponent in Hard Corps.. remember the Military Train stage in Hard Corps? Well, the boss there is a huge robot who stops the train named "Yokozuna".. the Shin Contra robot is named "Yokozuna Jr.". X-D Oh, and you can fight "Lady Gyabba" in Hard Corps, too, ha ha ha.

Actually, that's who I was referring to. I saw how both do the whole train thing and thought that they might be the same robot.
And thanks again for your help, Rugal!
