sega_SHARK Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have found a seller on ePay selling a copy of Frogger CIB. The seller is in the UK. I'm in the US. I would like an NTSC copy of the game. Is the package art and manual the same for a PAL and NTSC Frogger? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymiester Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) The picture of the box he has listed looks exactly like my US release box. It also matches the box art at Colecovision Zone.

sega_SHARK Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Cool, I'm gonna assume that only the cart is different for a pal release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Parker Brothers made changes to the front and rear of the box dependent on where the game was released (for all of their games that is), but I am pretty sure that they DID NOT make PAL versions of the game... all releases in all countries were the NTSC format version. Verification from some of the European members would be appreciated. I have attached pics that I have available for each release style. The U.S. release is all in English, the Canadian release is in English and French and the European release covers six different languages... box and manual. The cartridge looks the same with all releases although Parker Brothers did eventually correct the orientation of the label artwork in later production runs so that the artwork wasn't upside down when inserted in the cart slot. ED: sick of wireless keyboards, going back to wired!!! Edited February 9, 2013 by NIAD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verification from some of the European members would be appreciated. The cartridges shouldn't be any different. There are no dedicated PAL or NTSC versions of any ColecoVision games...that is determined by the hardware, not the software. It should be noted that in addition to the presence of other languages, foreign PB titles for all platforms have simply "Parker" branding (as opposed to "Parker Brothers"). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks PBJ, never did notice that "Brothers" was not used for foreign (well, non-US) releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
