Syndicate Wars

Syndicate Wars is an isometric real-time tactical and strategic game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts, the second entry in the Syndicate series. Released for DOS in 1996 and PlayStation in 1997, the game retains the core gameplay of the original Syndicate while advancing the setting 95 years into the future, pitting EuroCorp agents against the zealots of the Church of the New Epoch.

Four PAL variants are currently catalogued in the database, all original releases. These span the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, with two distinct serials used: SLES-00212 for the German-language edition and SLES-00213 for the remaining territories. All variants are housed in Full Jewel PAL cases containing a single disc, with a hologram on the case across all editions. Language support across the PAL releases includes English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish. No loose paperwork, bundled demo discs, Platinum editions, or budget re-releases have been documented. Released on 17 July 1997, the game’s four-variant PAL landscape is relatively compact given its profile, with the German pressing being the key regionally distinct edition for collectors building a complete set.
