GroovyBee Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Europe pretty much got everything except for a few titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkered_Flagman Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I was hoping more titles were released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keitaro Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi I'm a bit confused about Absolute/HES PAL versions. The only PAL versions were published by HES/Australia? Or were published in Europe too? In case of yes, by what publisher? To resume: NTSC (USA) -> Absolute PAL (Australia) -> HES PAL (Europe) -> ??

Mayhem Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I believe Salu handled the distribution of the HES PAL versions in Europe. That's where most of mine were gotten from. They come in cardboard boxes instead of plastic clamshells, but are pretty much the same otherwise. The boxes still say HES on the front, but show "Distributed by Salu" below it.

+Mitch Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I believe the Salu releases were primarily in the UK. The rest of Europe got the standard HES release. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I believe the Salu releases were primarily in the UK. The rest of Europe got the standard HES release. Mitch IIRC Salu were just a German subsidary of Activision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I would partly agree there... four of my five owned Salu 7800 games came from Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Weird, all of my Salu 7800 cart came from the UK. (Telegames and others) The few 7800 carts I got from Germany where HES. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Falcon Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I bought several games from the German mail order company "BAUR" back in 1990 (Double Dragon and F-18 Hornet) and those were the standard "HES" versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 My HES stuff has come from Germany and Australia, so it varies... one might have been the UK. But given I refused to ever pay Telegames' stupid prices then my options were less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the game I have from Salu in cardboard box has the "Distributed by Salu" mark. I didn't notice this. And also says "Made in W. Germany" at backbox. All HES plastic boxed I've seen were from Australia. I don't know if this format was also in Europe. And about Telegames, is still in active?

The_Laird Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yes Telegames are still going today, only the UK side still does retro games though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
