About PSX PAL Database

Welcome to the PSX PAL Database, a comprehensive resource documenting every physical variant of PlayStation (PSX) games released in the PAL region. In the years I’ve been collecting, I’ve become fascinated with how these games were released, and their actual content. Over the years it has become clear that there was no cental place for this information, and as people modify, lose and change their physical copies, it will only become harder to varify how these games looked and what they actually came with as time goes on. I’m seeking here to firmly and carefully document this information while it’s still possible.

Mission

Our goal is to preserve and document the complete history of PAL PlayStation releases, including:

Every physical variant (Original, Platinum, Budget releases)
