I love that you've analyzed it to determine Blitz's EU release order, and are hypothesizing the translation origins. There's always something else to learn about the Vectrex!

After some additional research, I think my hypothesis about Blitz! being the last EU release was wrong. The game with the highest reference number in the MB Vectrex library was Spike (no. 8137), which was released in 1983. Blitz has no. 8131, so logically it should also have been released in 1983. Have no picture of the box yet to confirm this, but this is what I believe so far.

I think the 18 games they talk about in the folder are actually all EURO Vectrex games except Mine Storm. My best guess why they decided to leave Blitz out of the promotional folder, is because American Football is just not very popular in Europe.

I'm currently working on a list/fact sheet about MB Vectrex games and their packaging features.
Hoping to finish it before the end of this year. I'll open a new thread oce it's done to share it with you all.
