Wikipedia and all other kinds of user-edited places give the original release date as 1987-02-24, but I see GAME MACHINE's timely issue says that it released 1987-02-27.

Not being sure if there's somehow a more reliable source for the 24 somewhere, I'm not gonna change it right now (wouldn't make a big difference anyway).
