The shortest period of release for a video game was one week, for the 1987 platform game Great Giana Sisters. Publisher Rainbow Arts was forced to withdraw it from sale pending legal action from Nintendo, because the game was a very thinly disguised copy of Nintendo’s Super Mario Brothers (the Commodore 64 version of the game even included the tag line “the brothers are history” on the cover).The game spread by illegal pirate copies but originals remain rare.
