Notes

[1] The UK/Euro releases of F29 RETALIATOR comprised two disks, while the U.S. release was condensed to one disk (see Diskscan).

[2] Game supports joystick/mouse/keyboard control.

[3] Distributed by EA in the U.S., Bomico in Germany, and Leader in Italy.

[4] An earlier version of the game exists with different graphics for some screens. It seems that this version contained bugs and was replaced with the version shown in the DBS.
