Must have PAL exclusives

[birdie3]

Any recommendations? I just got a TV that does PAL so I thought I would see what (if any) PAL exclusive games are worth getting. Thanks in advance.

as marco would say: Welcome to the PAL side

 

 

it's a great way to get some games that are just too hard to find as NTSC ... from asterix & obelix, to klax (only came out as prototype), bomb games, etc ...

 

many hard to find games were also re-released by Quelle and can be easily found as PAL versions ...

 

www.atarimania.com is a good help to research what other games were available in PAL format ...

 

enjoy!

Try finding these:

Skip the rumored Home Vision games.

I am only looking for the games that are worth owning. My criteria for these sort of games is that they must be fun and have replay value. I am not really looking for PAL games because they exist, just looking to add to the fun of playing the good 2600 titles. Any help is greatly appreicated.

I've got a boxed version of acid drop for sale.

On the list I posted above, the following have replay value:

 

Acid Drop

Base Attack

Dancing Plate

Exocet

Fatal Run

Klax

Missile Control

Mr. Postman

Parachute

Pick 'n' Pile

Seahawk

Sky Alien

Wall Break

Wing War

World End

X' Mission

 

Abandon all hope on finding any of the Home Vision titles, though.

 

Try finding the ITT Family Games versions instead.

HES's 'My Golf' ROCKS! Although I vaguely remember JerryG over at atari2600.com has reproduced this as an NTSC cart? Hmm... be nice to play this on a TV that sports the green as being 'green' instead of pink LOL!

those illustrations were taken from the perry rodan / atlan books published in germany in the sixties and seventies!

I've always liked X'Mission. One of my fav's.

The three Technovision games are all somewhat fun. Surfer's Paradise from Video Gems is another good one. Not sure if any of those exist in NTSC format other than repro conversions.
