    Default What are the best PAL exclusives ever?

    I've heard a lot about good Japanese exclusives, but I've hardly heard anything about PAL exclusives. Are any PAL exclusives good?
    Y helo thar.

    Of course, especially for home computers. There are tons and tons of euro only Commodore 64, Amiga, Spectrum, Atari ST, Amstrad, etc games.

    Power Strike II for the Master System, man! It's the bomb! (literally)

    Evil Twin for Dreamcast (made it to the PC, though)

    Headhunter for Dreamcast (it was released on the PS2 in the Staes, though)

    I'm no help at all!

    Don't forget about Terranigma for the SNES! There were apparently plans for a US release but it never came through.

    You forgot some more:

    PSone
    Capcom Generations (contains 1-4 UK version, 1-3 only in Germany)

    Saturn:
    Deep Fear
    Pardodius (i think also on PSone)

    Dreamcast:
    Fighting Vipers 2

    Okay they these games are also out in Japan, but they are the only Wetsern versions.


    Two more DC-games which were only released in Europe as far as I know.

    Toy Racer (Budget racer for charity, alone you were only able to play against humans when you are online, but I think the servers are closed now)
    Planet Ring (No use to buy as the game needed to be played online, but there is no server left)

    Although Fifa '96 is certainly a PAL exclusive - I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as one of the best. It's typical early-3d fare.

    Um both Lufias are in the US.

    And the series originated in Japan. The series is called "Estopolis Denki" there.

    At least it's one of the better games on the 32x in my opinion.

    Dud! Can't believe I forgot these two! DarXide seems to be one of the best 32x game in my opinion (though I have never played it as it was meant to be played... just in black & white) and FIFA Soccer is better than the MegaDrive games with better graohics and a cool zooming view. It has some glitches, though, but nothing that kills the gameplay.

    I'm late in reading this message, but I am the EXPERT when it comes to EUROPEAN and JAPANESE exclusive non-released-in-the-US games for PlayStation 1. I have every European game that wasn't released in the US. What type of game do you like and I'll tell what the best is.

    I will take a stab at it. One of my favorite AMIGA and AMIGA CD32 games was James Pond II. I had to have it for Genesis, I went ape when it was released on SNES. Now I'm glad to say that the PlayStation 1 version will NOT disappoint. It claims to have the soundtrack from the CD32 version. I never did a compare, but I like it a lot. It's not going to be rated 10/10, but in my opinion, you can never go wrong with James Pond.

    All Music Dance is made by Big Ben Interactive (www.bigbeninteractive.co.uk). Here's the trouble I have. I prefer to own the English version over any other version. I only collect non-English versions when there's no English version available. In this case, All Music Dance appears to be an Italian version of Dance: UK. I haven't verified that the songs are different, but there's a chance they are. Dance UK and All Music Dance are basically Dance Dance Revolution type games. Use a mat and follow the arrows. There's even a Dance UK Xtra Trax version available. I will contact Big Ben to see if an English verison of All Music Dance was released. I will also compare songs if I have time. If there are different songs I might end up getting it for the heck of it.

    I'm a big fan of "Evil Twin" for the Dreamcast. Great platformer with an edge.

    That's all I can think of now.
