    Default Does anyone have a complete NES PAL collection?

    As the topic say, does anyone have a complete NES PAL collection? I know a few people have a complete US set, but what about PAL? I never heard of it nor seen it.

    He means he may be missing a couple of boxes and manuals. The odd box being a handful of boxes.

    Nope sorry :\ I need that one myself, along with Phantom Air Mission I'd say these 3 games (including Snowboard Challenge) are the hardest PAL games to find. They even top Rodland. Snowboard Challenge and Phantom Air Mission isnt even listed in the DP rarity guide.

    I've got a pic of Phantom Air Mission somewhere. Can't seem to find it right now, though.

    As for a complete PAL set, I highly doubt anyone has that at this point in time. The fact that PAL releases haven't been fully documented yet makes it pretty much impossible...

    EDIT: Good question btw, jajaja! There hasn't been much talk about PAL NES collections, so I'm looking forward to see what some people have in their collections
    I'm always looking for new boxed NES accessories. If you've got any for sale, shoot me a PM!

    well as i said Snowboard Challenge isn't in the list (or better: wasn't) because i didn't have a pic. Phantom Air mission is actually on the list (in fact it has been since months), just not in the online version

    i guess you meant you need the game itself (PAM), right? if you need i pic i have that

    and yes, they top rodland, but i think Darkman also tops it, good thing the us collectors don't know... well, they didn't until now

    I've seen Darkman multiple times, so I'm not sure if that really tops Rodland? What about the PAL versions of City Connection, Lethal Weapon, and Die Hard? Those seem to be pretty tough to find as well.

    Also, I think the US collectors are just interested in PAL exclusives, so I doubt the demand for these rare PAL games will go up by much.

    I did a trade with a guy a while back who was only a couple of titles away from a full collection of UK NES releases, but that won't include a large number of the rare non-UK PAL games.

    yeah, not too sure about Darkman. you're right, the 3 you mentioned are really rare too. Was Lethal Weapon released in the Netherlands and Belgium too or just in France?

    @anagrama

    indeed, A LOT of games (and especially the rare ones) are missing if it's UK stuff only

    I bought a loose copy from Belgium not too long ago, so it could have been released there...or just crossed borders at one point in time.

    Same.

    As for UK releases, isn't Eliminator Boat Duel pretty rare? What about some of the Codemasters games?

    yeah, SCN afaik

    btw, you 2, it has become very clear to me over time that you are both absolute experts on NES and your collection is specialized on that system. So, would you probably want to team up for the PAL NES list here at DP? i've got so many lists that i hardly find the time to do major updates on that one so i could need some help from two experts as you are what do you think?
