Set in a dystopian future Earth, it casts players as a mercenary pilot assembling and customising a combat mech from a vast array of interchangeable parts. This French original release is presented in a Full Jewel PAL case and contains a single disc. The release is dated 31 October 1997 and carries text in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish, making it suitable across multiple European markets. The case carries a hologram, though its specific type is unconfirmed. As the first entry in what would become a long-running and influential mech series, PAL copies of the original Armored Core hold genuine collector appeal.
