This page details one or more prototype versions of Iron Commando: Kotetsu no Senshi.

A build of an unreleased European version, simply titled Iron Commando, was leaked by the Italian scene group PARADOX on December 30, 1994, albeit with an intro screen added by said group.

On January 1, 1995, fellow scene group ELITENDO released a hack that ousts the aforementioned intro (in total, just 16 bytes are changed). There's also a ROM of uncertain origin that is near-identical to the ELITENDO release, changing a further two bytes.
