Actua Soccer: Club Edition

Actua Soccer: Club Edition is a football simulation developed and published by Gremlin Graphics, released as a re-edition of the original Actua Soccer with a focus on the 20 clubs of the English Premiership rather than international competitions. New commentary was recorded and Premiership historical data was included. Actua Soccer was notable for being the first fully polygonal football game on the PlayStation, a distinction that gave it considerable impact on the genre at the time.

Seven PAL variants are catalogued in the database, covering ten countries including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and several Scandinavian markets. All releases are in English on a single disc, housed in Full Jewel PAL cases. Release types include original pressings and Core Multipack editions. Original releases carry no hologram on the case, while Core Multipack variants feature a hologram on the case. Loose paperwork documented across variants includes a Gremlin Information Leaflet and a Black Label Bottom insert.

The earliest PAL release was in May 1997. The spread of Core Multipack variants across the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy makes this title of interest to collectors tracking Gremlin’s multipack distribution programme.
