Cybertom Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Guys, i know most of you don't really like collecting PAL Stuff - but hey - there are some really, really nice rarities out there - so look what you are missing Technovision, Dynamics, Carrere, Ariola, Video Gems, Rainbow Vision, Homevision, and lots more As the Homevision Games are bringing up record prices around 300$ and up if you can find them even boxed also the Technovision (some went for over 300 Euros in the past) i also haven't seen the HES Games in the small blister packing very often anyway you can't find much information about them. In my opinion all the "PAL only" games are quite underrated and it's time to bring them a little bit more into the hotspot of us collectors and also US Collectors So let's collect some pictures of thoese "PAL only" rarities here in this thread - for me i have attached all my rare ones in this post. Happy "PAL Collecting" Tom P.S. of course happy collecting even non PAL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Looks like I'm going to have to modify some Atari games to add the New Zealand games to the variation list. Iwan, can you do me a favor and scan the carts front and end labels and the front and back of the boxes that are from New Zealand, and email them to me? Thanks.

Chris Leach Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have 300+ carts in my 2600 collection and only one of them are NTSC. I have 2600 plus carts in my collection...forgot how many are PAL, but I agree taht PAL collecting is underrated in the USA..... Maybe cause you dont really find them out in the wild as much as the NTSC carts or maybe its cause we cant play em? Who knows for usre, but the artwork looks so much cooler on some of the PAL exclusive titles.... Found that one for RomHunter that one time....Pharoah's Curse...good game there....

Because I can't afford the NTSC versions I agree on that one. That and most of the NTSC are already owned. I'd probably buy more PAL stuff if it was available in the US. My guess is that I have about 100 PAL games. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
