Trivia
When Activision was going to sell the PS2 version in Europe, they had a slight problem.
The German BPjS (Federal Examination Office for Youth-Endangering Publications) indexed the game
River Raid back in 1984. Therefore was a retail distribution of the compilation in Germany out of the question (a side effect of the indexing).
So, the only solution was for Activision to file an application for verification of that particularly title at the BPjS. And since the reason for the index was out of date (assuming it was up do date in 1984 at all - see River Raid trivia), the game was de-indexed on January 2003.
But the really interesting fact here is that without the application, the
Activision Anthology would be adult only in Germany. And now, after the de-indexing of
River Raid and a normal rating with the USK (the German age rating organization) for this compilation here, the
Activision Anthology is available without restrictions in Germany.
