Revision as of 03:34, 6 October 2021

Release: November 1993, packed in with Catalyst and Personal Trainer, round edged label, no box.
Rev. 1: January 1994, included in later sales of the system and apparently shipped to registered buyers for free, sharp-edged label, in box. Possibly released to address a critical gameplay bug in original release.

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.

-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. The overwhelming remainder of existing evidence seems to indicate that the original release was the more professional one, with properly-cut labels, and it was later when the super cheap boxed versions were produced that the sharp-edged versions began appearing. But this is all tentative, we're discovering new stuff about this every day.
