Release context

The documented release is September 23, 1994 for North America on Game Boy. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to North America. Documented alternate or regional names include Probotector - The Alien Wars (Japan / Europe). These names remain attached to one game family rather than being counted as unrelated games.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Cartridge. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.
