Arcade/NES
This strategy guide is about the NES version of the game, not the arcade version. Despite the fact the NES version is based on the arcade version they are significantly different. Again, the strategy guide here covers the NES version, and only the NES version, therefore it makes absolutely no sense to have the introduction talk about a completely different game that is never mentioned in the guide. If you want a guide on the arcade version then do one of these things: This is not a wikipedia article on the history of Contra. It is a strategy guide for one particular game. - Koweja 21:05, 29 October 2007 (CDT)
 * Create a new guide at Contra (arcade)
 * Move this entire guide to Contra (NES) and make a new guide about the arcade game here
 * Rewrite the entire guide here to somehow cover both games and include information on both on the cover page


 * How different are the versions? We don't create separate guides anymore unless they are completely different.  The differences can either be noted on individual pages, or we can do an entire subsection of the ToC dedicated to the other version(s).  -- 23:38, 29 October 2007 (CDT)
 * The games are supposed to be quite similar which is why I left the guides merged. If they are split, they are going to be at Contra and Contra (Arcade) (or Contra (arcade)...) as the most common guide gets the proper name.  -- Prod (Talk) 23:50, 29 October 2007 (CDT)
