RelliK111 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Well Thanks Ikrananka for bring up the difference as I would have never known, unless you talked about it. I for sure want to have the right game for the right box, so this will be cool to have both versions for my collection I was wondering how many PAL boxes was made. Last I saw on your order count was 5 I think. I was wondering if there was anymore of those made? If you have a extra PAL I would be willing to get it as I really like it and now that there is also a difference in the game itself also. I'm wishing I would have gotten one more PAL box.

I'm wishing I would have gotten one more PAL box. Sorry, I only ordered enough to cover the pre-orders and all PAL orders have been paid for and shipped. I believe crapahute already had a PAL box made and I think Pixelboy likely had one before. If you want to order one yourself then contact Marc Oberhauser - although the price of a single box is higher than buying in bulk. Alternatively, if at least 10 people want a PAL box then I'd be willing to do another batch purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my own box made for my copy of GhostBlaster, with different artwork. Unless that's what you meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed it was likely to have been crapahute's artwork that you used. Would love to see your box seeing as it is a one-of-a-kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a deal with the artist by which I was able to get the artwork done at a reduced price, in exchange for keeping it private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could use a load runner box Unfortunately there are probably not enough people with games to create it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah, hopefully you'll get the CollectorVision version of Lode Runner later this year, and the box is very similar, so just be patient.

Just contact him and tell him I said OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youki Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There is a graphics issue that can arise which I am assuming is down to the difference in the number of lines between PAL and NTSC televisions. I have already mentioned the fact that graphics become vertically squashed on a PAL TV, but there can also be loss of graphics if the graphic item is very small. For example, when playing Defender on a PAL TV the enemies cannot be seen in the scanner at the top of the screen (it appears to be blank) while they can be seen fine when playing on an NTSC TV. I don't have this kind of issue with defender on my SECAM console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Update from Dale Wick: I am planning on making at least 2 PAL ones on Friday/Saturday. I have an order for one at the moment. The current batch of 10 are all NTSC ones. So aside from Ikrananka, how many want a PAL GhostBlaster cart? Speak now or forever hold your peace!

Pixelboy Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I would like a 1 PAL GhostBlaster Cart and 1 NTSC Cart Okay,. so that's two PAL carts, which is what Dale has in reserve right now. Anyone else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Please, Please, Please let me get a dog gone NTSC Ghostblaster cart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Please, Please, Please let me get a dog gone NTSC Ghostblaster cart! I asked Dale to include an NTSC for you when I asked for my PAL cart. If Dale has already included my PAL cart in his order list (as Pixelboy mentions in Pst #166) then I suspect that your cart will be one of the 10 Dale mentions. I'm sure Pixelboy will be able to confirm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just hoping that pixelboy will help too, and between both you gentlemen it will be impossible not to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 From what I've seen so far in this thread, I think 10 NTSC cartridges should be enough for all the people here, so without knowing the exact contents of the waiting list, I'd say you should be getting your NTSC copy, Yurkie.
