Operation C is a scrolling platform run-and-gun developed by Konami and published by Ultra for the Game Boy and released on 1991-01-08. The game is the third title in the Contra series and acts as a sequel to Super C. In this game, a new alien called "Black Viper" is trying to take over Earth where the Red Falcon failed.
I never played this game when it was popular. Instead, I saw it on a list of the best Game Boy games and played it in an emulator.

Review
- Overall: 5/10
- Best Version: Game Boy
Good
- The game has decent graphics and sound.
- There is a good amount of variety among the enemies, bosses, and level design.
- In the brief time you have, the game presents a tough challenge, even for someone skilled in Contra games.
- I really like the new homing gun, and was pleased that they dropped the laser gun.
Bad
- With only 5 levels, the game is pretty short.
- Some of the music is reused from the NES games without even attempting to remix it.
- The final boss (after defeating the guardian) is extremely dull.
- The Japanese and European releases didn't give the game a new title.
Ugly
- Nothing.
Media
Box Art
The original Japanese art appears to be taken from a still of Schwarzenegger from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The alien backdrop is good, but the white foreground makes it look more like a flowery border!
This is a nice scene from Area 5. Lots of action and danger really shows what the game is about. This is my favorite art.
The European box shamelessly uses the same art and title as the NES release of Contra, even though the game is entirely different.
