Xbox (Original) Europe Only Game Question

[Glitchologteam]

Hello there people! Do anybody has a link that show a list of Europe Only Xbox (Original) games?

Thanks

Wikipedia has a list of all titles with the PAL titles highlighted. Best I could find.

What's the best way to play PAL games in the US? DO you simply need a mod chip? or do you need a TV that accepts PAL output?

a modded xbox will play PAL games in NTSC format (and vice-versa)

Is there any particular game people are interested in from the PAL exclusive list? I didn't see anything on there that made me want to seek out a modded Xbox.

neighbors from hell is fun, but it was available on the PC in the states.

the only real sought after import is metal wolf chaos out of japan.


The game revolves around a fictitious President of the United States named Michael Wilson. Using a suit of powered armor named Metal Wolf, he battles forces who have taken over his country in a coup d'état, including his arch nemesis, Vice President Richard Hawk.

It's has full english.

I softmodded my xbox, and most dashboards allow you to force certain regions on your games in some kind of menu.

it's helpful when the only copy of a game you can find is PAL...

I have made alot of progress with my Xbox collection (US only). I noticed there were a number of UK/Australia releases that might be a way of extending my Xbox collection (similar to collecting SMS games). The region issue needs to be conquered. I generally avoid mods other than video mods in place of original hardware, but I may go for a soft mod here, or an actual mod-chipped one if it turns up.

I'd be happy to hook you up with a soft mod kit if you'd like.
All i'd need would be a memory card, or heck, i could go get one for you and ship it all ready to go.

LOL Dude, I had never heard of this game before, but after reading a description and watching a video I HAVE to play this. I looks unbelievably amazing.

Completely over the top and absolutely ridiculous. How could something like this go unreleased in the states especially with such an awesome story.

Is there ANYTHING in that quote that doesn't scream awesomeness!?!?!?

Actually, they tried desperately to find a US publisher, but several other mech games on the Xbox didn't sell that well and I think some of the more mainstream publishers were a little worried about the subject matter. I know I worked as a legal consultant with a start-up publisher that was considering doing a line of budget Xbox releases after most support for the Xbox was dropped and that was the number one title they tried to get, as well as Rent A Hero and a few others which were either mostly translated or didn't require language skills to play. Ultimately, the economy prevented them from getting financing and the whole plan was scrapped when the publisher shut down.

Wow... Well I'm glad to see that it was at least given consideration for a US release, just disappointed that it didn't actually come out. It looks like my type of game and those are getting fewer and further between.

Same thing with Rent A Hero. I knew the DC version would never make it to the states but hoped that the Xbox port would eventually surface, but unfortunately it was never released here either.

Not sure if you know, but the English Xbox version of Rent a Hero was eventually leaked. The entire game is completely translated.

As for PAL-only games, it's pretty redundant with the PC version but I like the Xbox version of Taito Legends 2. Compared to the PC version, it gets Bubble Symphony which is a big plus. Pop 'n Pop and Rayforce were nice exclusives too. It also turns out it's region free, so you can play it on unmodded NA Xboxes.
