Non-American NES carts

I printed out the NES master-list in the hope that there wouldn't be
much of a difference between the States and OZ.

Well I found some interesting things in my collection :)

#1 - Shadow Warriors II (basically Ninja Gaiden II: the dark sword of chaos)

#2 - Street Gangs by Infogrames

Street gangs has to be the best game I own for NES and it seems
it wasn't relesed in America (or Joe just dosen't know yet ;) )

As a matter of fact, I couldn't find any other Infogrames games in the
list.
Did they not relese games in the U.S?

Those titles were released in the US under different names.

"Shadow Warriors" is the Europe/PAL name for "Ninja Gaiden". Shadow Warriors II is NES Ninja Gaiden II.

... and "Street Gangs" isn't just a great game, it's MY favorite NES game - except here it goes under by the name of "River City Ransom".
