cheezball Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I have a PB Spider-Man. Box and cart look like the standard Parker Brothers Spider-Man shown here on AA, but with a 'P' sticker on the back of the box and 'P' printed on the label of the cart?? Anyone know what the 'P' means? I thought PAL, but it plays on my TV -- in color. I'm not real familiar with PAL format other than what I have read. I was under the impression that if a cart is PAL it would play on a U.S. TV, but only in black and white. Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 It is PAL...the difference between it and a regular NTSC cart is that they were made with different refresh rates and vertical resolutions in mind (which means that the television might roll or have a slight warp to the displayed images). The timing of the games will be a bit off as well, since it was made to display 50 frames a second, but the NTSC 2600 is forcing them to operate at 60.
