Aquanaut's Holiday

Aquanaut’s Holiday is an open-ended underwater exploration game developed by ArtDink and published in PAL territories by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, casting the player as a marine scientist exploring an unmapped area of the ocean at their own pace with no fixed objectives.

The database currently catalogues 3 PAL variants, all Original release types sharing the same serial. Distribution covered the UK, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. All variants are housed in Full Jewel PAL cases with no hologram, in English only, on a single disc. No loose paperwork or bundled demo discs are documented. The three variants are differentiated by their territorial groupings and EAN barcodes, covering a Central European cluster, a UK, Germany, France group, and a Scandinavian cluster including Sweden, Finland, and Norway. The inclusion of Scandinavian markets within the distribution is of interest to collectors tracking Nordic PAL releases. Aquanaut’s Holiday is a notable title for its ambient, non-goal-oriented design, distinct from most PS1 contemporaries.
