Nice find, and since it's a new serial, it's better ! I expect hebrew games will reserve us some more surprise !
Just a question : Are you the guy who bought this game, or is it a random guy? It is to know if I can expect a future dump or if we have to wait for it to reappear on eBay...

I don't expect to find any more hebrew language games to be honest. Soccer is very popular in Israel I believe, maybe more FIFAs? If there were a lot more games I think more would have come to light by now. I think it is like Russia or South Korea for PSX, not enough money to make from the market at the time for localization.

Yeah, to be honest,  I think so too, I've seen a lot of hebrew games on various platforms, but, except some PC games and  these 2 PSX games, they were all standard european version...

There are enough Korean releases, but they aren't widely known and are quite rare.

Hmmm do you have more info? Perhaps serial numbers?

Wiki missing list has 10, but those are the ones that are known and "googleable". I'd assume there are at least 11 SLPM-885xx ones, at least 4 SLKA ones and probably a few PxPX ones. That gives us 16+ titles, at least.

Mega CD has around 15-20 Korean titles (though, those are Jap CDs with Korean covers, just like Korean carts for MD with Jap PCBs inside), Saturn has 20 Korean titles, 3DO should have around the same (maybe a little more).

FIFA 99 needed the ringcode anyway, it's worth verifying.
