PAL vs NTSC

[Pioneer4x4]

Is the instructions and overlays (if included) any different on PAL and US NTSC games?

Every now and then I see stuff like this on ebay

7 pal NIB for $30:

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 310242773490

And it might be a good way to get the manuals and overlays for those games.

I'd snap these up in a second, if it wasn't for the fact that the postage to Ireland costs more than $30.

He has 75 sets, so I ass-u-me there are more in the background.

It depends on the title.

 

For this particular auction (if this thread gets moved to the auction forum, you'll know why), the US version of Alpha Beam with Ernie has a different box than the International version; red box Pole Position is PAL only; and Kung Fu Superkicks has a blue box and a black box release - I think the blue might have been Telegames and the black Telegames UK, although I have the black box version and it has an NTSC cart.

The shipping is only 6$ here to canada, though I don't have a pal console. Would they still be worth getting?

So if I bought them and got them shipped to you, would you do a better price shipping to Europe?

Ugh I wasn't logged in X_X, its 24$ to Canada. It was showing the US cost because my ebay was signed out.

I have most of these games, but would love to get the Pole Position. I'm tempted.

Depends on your TV and whether it bothers you to have blue grass and green clouds

I have the black box copy as well and I was told it was NTSC when I bought it but, it wont fit in my 2600 console. Any ideas?

I remember hearing that some newer consoles have trouble with some carts. (newer=30 years ago, not 35...)
