Reel Fishing Launch Release (France, Germany, UK)

Reel Fishing is a fishing game developed and published by Natsume, first seen on the PlayStation in 1996 as a localisation of Japan’s Fish Eyes series. It offers a Free mode with three fishing spots and a Season mode in which you manage a fishing career.

This is the Original PAL release, serial SLES-01727, dated 10 March 1998. A single pressing covers the UK, France and Germany, so the same case and disk were sold in all three markets. It comes in a Full Jewel PAL case with a Hologram B sticker on the case, and contains one disk with English-language text. The EAN barcode is 4036636010010.

As the only PAL variant catalogued for the game, this is the definitive copy for collectors. The shared multi-country release makes it a useful example of how publishers economised on packaging for smaller titles, and the Hologram B case is the main detail to check when confirming a genuine copy.
