UEFA Champions League: Stagione 1998-99 Launch Release (Italy)

UEFA Champions League: Season 1998-99 is a football game developed by Silicon Dreams and published by Eidos Interactive, based on the continental club competition that gives the game its name.

This is the Original Italian release, catalogued under serial SLES-01746 and dated 26 March 1999. It is localised in Italian for the Italian market, and arrived in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disk.

The EAN barcode is recorded as 5032921006101. Each country edition of the game was given its own serial and barcode, and this one fits neatly into that sequence, so it is easy to place alongside its siblings in a collection.

Italy has always been a strong market for football games, which makes this edition a natural piece of the set for anyone collecting the language variants. It is also a good example of how Eidos handled European localisation during the late years of the PlayStation.
