    According to wikipedia BG was released on 30th November 1998, which makes Sunday it's 10th Birthday. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether this is correct and whether it was realeased on a different date in the UK? Wondering as BG is still my favourite game, so I was hoping to do a run through the whole game on its birthday and just wanted to get the date right :).
