- Release: 1993, packed in with Catalyst and Personal Trainer, round edged label, no box.
- Rev. 1: 1994, (shipped to registered buyers for free? sold separately? included in later sales of the system?), sharp-edged label, in box. Possibly released to address critical gameplay bug in original release.
I've found two shots of the interior of the Personal Trainer's box (with the three separate compartments that hold the system/hardware/etc) that have sharp-labeled carts, but these are modern photographs from collectors, and I'm chocking this up to said collectors assembling a CIB Personal Trainer set from a sourced cartridge.

To do
- The game got dumped. Mention it, when, who, why its notable, why it went undumped for so long, its emulation difficulties, etc. Is there a Hidden Palace entry?
- Is Outback Joey a mascot platformer? I didn't really get any mascot vibes, but I don't know, I guess I can see it. Once I get deeper into the marketing side of this, see if they ever gave him mascot things like tude or whatever.
