The_Laird Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) Now i have a complete 7800 collection (apart from Tank Command ) i have compiled a list of NTSC games and how they play on Pal Machines, especially useful for games never released on Pal format:- Touchdown Football Some colours flash but Playable. Realsports Baseball Some colours flash but playable. Scrapyard Dog Title screen and intro only. No actual game. Donkey Kong Plays fast but otherwise fine. Water Ski Bit of graphics glitch at the bottom of the screen but plays perfectly. Robotron 2084 Title screen only. No game. Tower Toppler Nothing at all. Centipede Plays perfectly. Dark Chambers Title screen only. No game. Klax Plays perfectly. Super Skateboardin' Some flashing graphics but playable. F18 Hornet Bits of glitching but plays ok. Pit-Fighter Plays perfectly. F14 Tomcat Title sequence only, game crashes. Winter Games Flashing graphics on bobsleigh, other events fine. MUST press select as soon as game boots up. Summer Games MUST press select as soon as game boots up, crashes on swimming but other events are spot-on. Joust Bit of glitching at bottom of screen but otherwise fine. Title Match Wrestling Bit of glitching at bottom of screen but otherwise fine. Dig Dug Title screen only. No game. Food Fight Title screen only. No game. Ms. Pacman Plays fine, slight graphic glitch at the bottom Midnight Mutants Crashes on opening screen Ninja Golf Severe graphics glitching, pretty unplayable Pete Rose Baseball Game starts and then crashes Pac Pollux Works fine Beef Drop Works fine. Galaga Plays perfectly. Hope this is of help to all you Pal owners. Edited January 8, 2007 by mr.kizza 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loccy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Arse. Looks fairly bleak. Thanks for the info though Kizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loccy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Double-arse. Turns out Dig-Dug and Food Fight don't work - being two I've just bought off e-bay. C'est la vie. What games WERE released in PAL format? Edited January 8, 2007 by Loccy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) All games except the following were released in Pal: Winter Games Summer Games Robotron 2084 Water Ski Tank Command Rampage Touchdown Football And I think that is it, only Robotron out of those dosn't work at all on a Pal 7800.

Mayhem Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Super Skateboarding has a HES PAL release I believe, though I own the NTSC version. Add to that list of not available on PAL - Rampage and Touchdown Football. I think all the other third party titles got a HES/Salu PAL release of some sorts.

Schmutzpuppe Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I wonder why companies didn't make multi regional games. It is a bit more work but they just had to make one type of cartridge. I guess it would have been cheaper for them in a long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Once I move I can unpack all my 7800 stuff and figure out what NTSC/PAL versions I still need and test everything out to see what works on each machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keitaro Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Hi, pole position II: same as Joust, graphic glitches on bottom Tower Toppler: graphic glitches on bottom, and tower graphics corrupted (I don´t know is for use a NTSC cart, or maybe is the rom code corrupted) Ballblazer: starts ok, (but with graphic glitches on bottom), and hangs when game start. bad news to see Robotron don´t work in PAL machines, It was on my 7800 wanted list Edited January 21, 2007 by keitaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Is there a list of 7800 NTSC carts that do not have PAL version and that on a PAL system the NTSC versions: (1) don't work or unplayaable (2) work but serious graphics problems (3) work with minor graphic glitches at the bottom.

thomasholzer Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Summer Games had PAL release (as I bought mine at Makro UK) Edited January 21, 2007 by thomasholzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Summer Games had PAL release (as I bought mine at Makro UK) For the 2600 version yes, for the 7800 version no. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasholzer Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Just tested mine, you're right (I wonder how many NTSC titles they sold as it came as a 'pack of five', all sealed). Edited January 23, 2007 by thomasholzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-in-NJ Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I wonder why companies didn't make multi regional games. It is a bit more work but they just had to make one type of cartridge. I guess it would have been cheaper for them in a long term. I've read that Colecovision carts are "multi-region" and play on all Coleco consoles worldwide. I've never owned a Colecovision so can't comment on the veracity of this statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Anyone compiled a list of PAL carts that work on NTSC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Anyone compiled a list of PAL carts that work on NTSC? None, unless you mod the BIOS. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimo Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Has anyone done hacks of the NTSC games to get them wrking on PAL or is this not possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 There has been alot of questions about this recently so I thought I would bump this topic for all the new people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamejay Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 More games now tested on a PAL system Hat Trick = Colours all wrong but playable Choplifter = Will not start On-on-One = Colours wrong but playable Karateka = Plays but not sure. Joystick repsonse seems really slow. Maybe this is how the 7800 is. Xevious = Playable. Graphics glitch at bottom of the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Karateka = Plays but not sure. Joystick repsonse seems really slow. Maybe this is how the 7800 is. Don;t worry, the response is poor in PAL too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
