Les Schtroumpfs Launch Release (France)

The Smurfs is a licensed PlayStation game starring the little blue cartoon characters, developed by Doki Denki Studio and published by Infogrames.

This is the Original French release, catalogued under serial SLES-01749 and dated 6 October 1999. It comes in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disk, and the disc offers six languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. The packaging was made for the French market, but the multilingual disc means the game works the same way as in any other territory.

The EAN barcode is recorded as 3546430004326, which is the quickest way to tell it apart from the German edition, whose barcode differs only in its last digits.

As the French first-wave pressing, it is an essential entry for anyone collecting the game country by country, and it makes a useful comparison with the later budget reissues.
