Player Manager Ninety Nine Launch Release (Netherlands)

Player Manager Ninety Nine is a football management simulation in the Premier Manager series, endorsed by Kevin Keegan. It is catalogued here as developed by Anco and published by Infogrames.

This is the Dutch Original release, serial SLES-01346, dated 2 July 1999, which is also the earliest PAL date recorded for the game. It is housed in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc. Despite being a Netherlands release, the language listed is English only. The EAN barcode is 5012717003477.

Of the six PAL variants catalogued for the title, this one has the lowest serial number, which suggests it was among the first to be issued. Collectors comparing the set will notice that the later German, Italian and French releases moved on to different serial ranges, so the Dutch copy is a useful anchor when sorting the series into order. It is worth checking the case carefully, as small printing differences are easy to overlook, especialy on football titles of this era.
