Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman Launch Release (Italy, Spain)

Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman is a quirky third person action-adventure developed by UEP Systems and published by Agetec, in which a cowboy turned samurai fights his way through a surreal wild west.

This variant is the Original release catalogued for Italy and Spain, dated 15 October 1999. It was issued in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc, and the case carries a Hologram B. The game is multilingual, with English, French, German, Italian and Spanish all available. The EAN barcode is 0093992087319, and this is what separates it from the other Original release sharing the same serial, which is catalogued for the UK, France and Germany.

For collectors, the barcode is the key identifier here, as the packaging otherwise looks very similar between the two pressings. A good copy of this version is a worthwhile addition to any PAL Agetec collection.
