PAL Collecting

[Cybertom]

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

Very nice pics Tom, you should post some of your R2D2 unit as well! We will see us soon!

Yes PAL collecting is far more challenging and more satisfying than collecting NTSC..

Notice the ANGELN I game... Totally wrong colours... the same crap as Fishing in 32 in 1 cartridge.

Hi.

 

@Jörg - are they PAL only ? Can you send pictures of the carts ? I'm still looking for a silver Asteroids Box - as i have the cart but never seen the silver style box.

btw. the R2-D2 is off topic

Tom,

 

These are Atari games from New Zealand, distributed by Monaco:

Don't mistake the Monaco Asteroids:

Yes, they are PAL only New Zealand boxes.....the carts have a silver foil with round corners! I will bring them to our

meeting than you can have a closer look at them.

 

[Cybertom]

Let me fix that for you

[jahfish]

absofuckinlutely nice set, tom!

 

 

 

 

PAL and pirates are the holy sh*t!

 

[Philflound]

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.

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....

I'm in no rush. In fact if you send them to Rom, I can always download them from his site. I need to get working on the site again this week.

[pangasinan]

Nah, collecting NTSC is WAY cooler.

Then why is most of the Atari games you buy PAL then ??

[jahfish]

GOD!! That must be some game!

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.
