Return Fire

Return Fire is a vehicular shooter developed by Silent Software and published by Time Warner Interactive, originally released on the 3DO in 1995 and ported to PlayStation in 1996. Viewed from a 3D bird’s-eye perspective, players control one of four vehicles, including a jeep, helicopter, tank, and armoured support vehicle, in order to capture an enemy flag and return it to their base.

The database catalogues a single PAL variant of Return Fire. The release covers the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain under the Original release type, with the earliest PAL release date recorded as 15 September 1996. The variant is housed in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc and no hologram on the case. Language coverage is exceptionally broad, supporting Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, making this one of the most comprehensively localised releases in the PAL catalogue. Loose paperwork includes a Manual Registration Card for Return Fire. A round red case sticker reading “C&VG 5 out of 5” is documented on this release, reflecting a maximum score from the UK gaming magazine Computer and Video Games. The extensive language support and the critical acclaim sticker make this a particularly distinctive and rewarding edition for collectors.
