i Puffi Launch Release (Italy)

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

This is the Italian Original release, dated 6 October 1999. It comes in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc, and the game carries Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish language options, so the same disc content serves several markets. What sets this copy apart from the other Original pressings is its Italian market packaging and its own EAN barcode, 3546430004340.

For collectors, the country specific barcodes are the main way to separate the Italian, Dutch and UK and Finland Originals, which otherwise share the same serial and the same release date. If you are aiming for a complete Smurfs set, this is the one to look for when you want the Italian first pressing rather than the later reissue.
