Hard Boiled

Hard Boiled is an action game based on the Frank Miller and Geof Darrow comic book series of the same name, adapted for the PlayStation and released in 1997. The game translates the comic’s dystopian retro-futuristic setting into a vehicular action format, with players taking on the role of a cyborg assassin navigating a corrupt future Los Angeles.

The database catalogues three PAL variants across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, all Original releases dated 15 October 1997. The UK, Italy, and Spain share one pressing carrying Hologram A on the case, while France and Germany have separate regional editions with standard holograms on their cases. All three use Full Jewel PAL cases and contain a single English-language disc. No loose paperwork or bundled demos are documented across any variant.

The three-territory split with distinct serials for France and Germany follows a pattern common to many PAL releases of the period, and collectors seeking the full Hard Boiled set will need to locate all three editions.
