War of the Worlds

Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds is a vehicular combat third-person shooter developed by Pixelogix and published by GT Interactive Software, based primarily on Jeff Wayne’s iconic 1978 musical adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel and released exclusively on the PlayStation in Europe in 1999.

The database currently catalogues 5 PAL variants, all Original release types sharing the same serial, distributed individually across the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. Each variant is housed in a Full Jewel PAL case with a hologram on the case, and all are single-disc English-only releases. No loose paperwork or bundled demo discs are documented. The five variants are differentiated by country and EAN barcode. Notably, this title was never released in North America, making it a PAL-exclusive game and therefore of inherent interest to collectors of region-specific titles. The game’s visual style draws heavily on the original album’s distinctive artwork, further distinguishing it from other PS1 shooters of the period.
