Independence Day: The Game Launch Release (Germany)

Independence Day: The Game is a combat flight and shooter title tied to the 1996 film of the same name, developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Fox Interactive.

This is the German Original release, dated 15 July 1997, which makes it part of the first wave of PAL copies. It comes in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc, and the game includes English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish language options. The EAN barcode is 5030932012869.

Loose paperwork is documented for this variant in the form of a Fox Interactive Soho Square Registration Card, a small item that is easily lost and therefore worth checking for when assessing completeness. Note that a second German Original entry exists with the same barcode and date, so careful inspection of the packaging is useful when telling the two apart.

As an Original pressing rather than a Core Multipack, this copy is the one collectors usually seek first when they want the launch version of the game in Germany.
