Speed Freaks Launch Release (Finland, Norway, Sweden)

Speed Freaks, developed by Funcom and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, is a racing game built around pickups and weapons, including missiles, slime and speed boosts. It supports two players, or four with a multitap.

This is the original Scandinavian release, catalogued for Sweden, Finland and Norway and dated 15 September 1999. The game is presented in English. It is worth noting that Funcom is a Norwegian studio, which gives this regional pressing a pleasing link to the game’s origins.

The disc is a single disc in a Full Jewel PAL case with a Hologram B. The serial is SCES-01763 and the EAN barcode is 0711719792628. Because the one release covers several Nordic countries, copies can be harder to source outside Scandinavia than the UK or French editions, which makes it a sought after piece for collectors who want a complete regional set.
