+Propane13 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Just an interested question. In Winter Games 7800, there are a few "timed events". Since PAL is 50 frames per second, and NTSC is 60 frames per second, I am wondering: - is the PAL game 5/6 slower to play than the NTSC version (seems logical to me), and: - is the clock accurate to a real timer, or is the clock for PAL also a little slower? In essence, I'm wondering if playing one vs. the other would probably net you the same winning time, or if there's an advantange to playing one over the other because the clock is "more real time"? -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 It was an NTSC only release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Propane13 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Any other 7800 games in the library with a timer? Surely there is one. Impossible Mission I think qualifies. What others? -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Propane13 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 The reason I'm asking is if in some games, one can "cheat time" in a PAL version to get a lower time, and therefore a better high score. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
