Euroriffic Prophecy Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

It felt really great to be able to walk in to a store and buy a Wing Commander product. Today I picked up a copy of the UK release of Prophecy GBA. Naturally the first thing I did was find out how it differed from the US version. The answer is: not much.

  • The box is virtually identical. It does get a different pair of screenshots and a few logos changed or moved around.
  • The manual has a different font and the pages don't have a background image. The text is identical except for one thing - more credits. It lists the Take 2 people responsible for putting the game out and it lists the full Special Thanks list from the game. Well that change makes the CIC staff happy at least.
  • The game cartridge is a little different too - the ESRB rating has disappeared.. and so has the Vampire! We're currently assuming that both have travelled through the jump point.
  • The game itself plays exactly the same, but you can select the game language from a menu when you first turn the game on. Languages available are: English, Italian, French, Spanish, and German.
Here, have some scans. They are from left to right: Front of the box and manual (UK version left, US version right), Back of the box and the game cartridge (UK version left, US version right), really bad picture of the language select screen taken by shoving a Gameboy in a scanner, and a sample page from the UK manual.
