Firestorm: Thunderhawk 2

Firestorm: Thunderhawk 2 by Core Design was issued as a Value Series Riccochet release under serial SLES-00145#, distributed across the UK and France. It comes in a Full Jewel PAL case with English and French language content on a single disc. This version is distinguished from the plain Riccochet pressing by the addition of a “Value Series” band on the front cover, while both releases share the same EAN barcode. Twelve PAL variants are catalogued in total, and the front cover inspection remains the key method for separating these two closely matched releases, a common challenge when cataloguing the Core Design budget label run.
