Hard Boiled

Hard Boiled is an action game developed and published by Cryo Interactive Entertainment, based on the Frank Miller and Geof Darrow comic book series of the same name. Players take the role of Nixon, a cyborg assassin working for a dystopian corporation in a retro-futuristic Los Angeles setting, navigating five missions centred around hovercar combat and destruction across varied urban environments.

The database catalogues three PAL variants, all original releases, covering France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. All three are presented in Full Jewel PAL cases with a single disc. Two variants carry a standard Hologram on the case, while the UK, Italy, and Spain pressing carries a Hologram A. Language support includes English, French, and German distributed across the regional pressings, with the UK, Italian, and Spanish edition presented in English only. The earliest PAL release is recorded as 15 October 1997. No loose paperwork, case stickers, or bundled demo discs have been documented for any variant. The title’s origin in a well-regarded comic book series and its limited PAL variant count give it modest but genuine collector interest, particularly among enthusiasts of late 1990s action titles and Cryo Interactive’s European output.
