- I think you're almost certainly right ... very unlikely to have been released in Germany. USK formed in 1994, but not sure when, this doesn't have an USK label anyway. As you mention, It would have probably had it's name changed (see "Bloodshot", Mega CD which was released in Germany as "Battle Frenzy"). Another example was Contra getting severely changed into Probotector as Konami Europe was based in Germany at the time. Snatcher was released about the same time, but doesn't seem to have been released outside of UK and Australia in PAL regions.Pirate Dragon (talk) 15:16, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
