Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is November 26, 1996 for Worldwide / regional on PlayStation. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Worldwide / regional. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as CD-ROM. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

Editions and revisions

2 separately cataloged physical editions are linked to this family: Area 51, Area 51: Special Pack.
