    Default Which PSX games were released in PAL format ONLY?

    I love PSX games but I of course have a NTSC unit. Then it struck me, emulation is awesone on on PC for Playstation titles.
    The emulators can handle PAL or NTSC so.................

    Can somebody tell me, guide me or send me a link of any and all original playstaion games that were released ONLY in the PAL format? Are there any? Let me know, thanks!

    Well I know for sure a bunch of Formula 1 games never made it to the US on the PS2...I'm not sure about the PS1 though.

    I'd send a PM to AtariBuff as he's the resident PAL PlayStation guy here on the forums.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    A lot of crap budget titles were recently released in PAL-land recently, but good games? Hmm...

    Rapid Reload (Gunner's heaven in Jpn) got a release there. Still one of my fav shooters but graphics getting a bit dated now.
    CURRENTLY PLAYING:
    - Bioshock (360)
    - Disgaea (DS)
    - Wipeout HD (PS3)

    How about the PAL only PS1 Metal Slug rip off (which im convinced has used MS sprites and redrawn them, check the dying animation on the main character)...

    Really? I've played a bit of all three GBA games in the series, didn't see any similarity.

    Theyre okay, definately nothing compared to Rapid Reload and Metal Slug, but worth checking out if you can find it cheap.

    Hadnt even tried that game until now, since you mentioned it, i thought id give it a try and take some screenshots/photos for you, unfortunately it came unboxed with the manual though... Cant complain though, it was pretty cheap iirc


    Sorry the pics are small, i didnt wanna clog up the thread, if you do want the originals i can PM you them.





    On the Disc it says Infogrammes Arcade... Maybe more Arcade ports were released under this label...

    Xcom terror from the deep released exclusively in eu and pal regions i think.

    Wipeout 3 s.e. also exclusive to pal

    And I know this doesn't count but gran turismo 2 had exclusive music for pal regions, but technically all 3 regions had different soundtracks from one another

    90% of PAL exclusive games were also released in Japan in NTSC-J format. Kotobuki Grand Prix, Cheesy, Firo & Klawd, Ayrton Senna's Kart Duel 2, Gunners Heaven/Rapid Reload, Wipeout 3 Special Edition, and much more I cant think of off the top of my head.

    Only PAL exclusive games I can think of are Mickeys Wild Adventure, Tintin, Action Man: Destruction X, Aironauts, Bedlam, all Asterix titles, and Jinx.
