![]() ![]() In terms of release schedules, that was a very strange time. I still consider it among the best games ever and certainly a very important game. I didn't even think about it being an anniversary, so that's just a happy accident. So the UK release date was late October/early November '91. But have it they did and I actually got the last copy. I knew it had just been released and we weren't even sure they'd have it in stock, such was the way back then. ![]() It wasn't reviewed in the UK press till the October 1991 issues (man that review and cover on Mean Machines #13.) and as my Birthday was early November, I have very fond and firm memories of me and my Dad going into our local Dixons and purchasing it on Saturday 2nd November. I'm assuming it was probably released on mainland Europe before us as I see this earlier release date everywhere. which neatly brings me to this EU release date I constantly see August 29th? We certainly didn't get it that soon in the UK - we got it later. but I haven't played it yet cos I'm getting it for my Birthday start of November. I've seen Wonder might be the closest we've had to this style of game since. One of my all time faves I still regularly play through it - this and MarioWorld haven't been bettered by anyone as per 2D platformers IMO. I only had Mario 1 at that point and that single screenshot Blew. It was of world 1-2 with it's green sloping hills. The first image I ever saw of this was in a free book on an issue of CVG (had Robocop on the front) and they had stickers of upcoming games to put in. ![]()
