It's definitely 1988- the date stamps on game files (Nov 88) rarely lie. Arguably, the reviews also support a 1988 release, since most mags usually released issues 2-3 months in advance of the actual month of release. The other thing is that all the California Games reviews listed in AMR are from Euro mags, whereas the Ami version was developed for Epyx in the U.S. by Westwood (i.e. quite likely that the U.S. release by Epyx preceded the Euro release by GO!).
