This Original release carries serial SLES-00504 and was released on 16 November 1996, covering the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain. It is presented in a Mini Jewel White Bordered PAL case without a hologram, as a single-disc release with multilingual support across English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish.
