PAL is your pal, DC owners...

[geelw]

in case ya didn't know dept:

many PAL DC games WILL run on a NON-modified u.s. dreamcast, if you have the proper boot disc. a lot of these games have 60hz NTSC options included, and a few were never released for the system here (which is important if you're don't own a PS2 or Xbox yet, and don't plan to buy one for whatever odd reason). for example:

shenmue II (ported to the xbox- control is better on dc version)
rez (ported to the ps2)
stunt gp (ditto)
headhunter (ditto)
evil twin

and they come in those funky, hard-to-replace-yet-cool double cases to boot!
also, some u.s. games are also PAL formatted- when you pop nightmare creatures 2 into your DC, you can see an option screen that asks which mode you'd like to select (it's impossible to pick the PAL mode for the u.s. system, though). i'm planning to add some more titles to my collectionany UK gamers care to add games to this list?

Well, I live in Australia and own a PAL Dreamcast, so I guess I should go out and hunt down some of these games, seeing as they're exclusively PAL.

It's actually quite rare that PAL countries get games the the JAP/US market doesn't.

I'm still looking for Giant Killers, Pro Pinball & Taxi 2 -- while they may or may not go for big money, they sure don't come up a lot...

Evil Twin is a cool game, I like it very much. It was suppose to be released on the PS2 in North America, I think when I heard it was October. That has come and gone, no sign of it being released and I have not heard if it will. Does anyone else know about this?

Taki 2 was a France only release, so good luck if you do find it.
