I've seen 03 used for three EU releases (Lord of the Sword, Miracle Warriors: Seal of the Dark Lord and Ys: Ancient Ys Vanished Omen). - Hivebrain 00:04, 25 January 2012 (CST)

I don't understand a lot of Ubisoft's numbers - Conflict Zone has a -71 too (and a -72... and they're identical?). Evil Twin uses -80. I think the answers probably lie on the discs.
There is a French-only version of Stupid Invaders, so this "EUROPEAN VERSION" as it's printed on the disc (maybe this means no Australian release?) might lack French as a language option. -Black Squirrel 08:13, 30 August 2012 (CDT)
