A friend and I are argueing if Contra Force for the NES or Contra Alien Wars for the SNES came out first. I looked in the Online Rarity Guide to look for the release dates and I found out Contra force for NES came out in 1992 but couldnt find a release date for Contra Alien Wars does anyone know when it came out?

According to GameFAQs, Contra Alien Wars came out in February 1992.

Well the digitpress guide said contra force came out in 9/92 so I guess im wrong. I just thought since Contra Force was for NES that it would of came out first but looks like I was mistaken

It was most likely that unreleased game "Arkhound," and in any case it never came out in Japan at all :P

Ed - it was Arc Hound. Didn't you see what I submitted to the Contra Headquarters?

And for the record, Contra III came in early '92, followed by Contra Force in the fall of '92.

Oh, right, Archound, yes I did see that before, Dire 51..spaced it. I totally forgot it wasn't released there...Shit, it's hard keeping all this random vg knowledge in my head sometimes. :-)
