What was the first Dragon Ball game to be released in NA?

I'm trying to find a site that has release dates for Dragon Ball games and other than Wikipedia I have had no luck.

Other than Dragon Power, what was the first licensed Dragon Ball game released in the states? So far, from what I can tell it's the Gameboy Color game Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Worriors in 2002.

Final Bout, I believe. Originally released 10/1/1997.

Such is correct. As was noted, Bandai brought out the first Famicom game (Shenron no Densetsu) themselves over here as Dragon Power in 1986, and that was it until Final Bout in 1997...

... and then THAT was it (both in the US and Japan) until Legendary Super Warriors (Densetsu no Chou Senshi-tachi) in 2002 (JP/US/EU).

Then came the slew of Atari-made GBA games and the Budokai series, and it's been an avalanche ever since, once more.
