moycon Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Did they release a PAL version of this game? Or only NTSC?? The AA database doesn't have a PAL listing that I can find. Also about how much does the game usually go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yes, there is a PAL version, I've been ripped with that once. It's much easier to find in PAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inky Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hmmmm i guess time will tell. MOycon... I don't understand why you're interested in this game... It's Master Builder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I was wondering the same thing...LOL. Perhaps he thought it was a lost adult game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakpack Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Good grief,imagine the graphics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I WISH I could find an NTSC Master Builder. I too have been burned by the PAL version at least twice! The second time, I was much more careful! Someday I will find one I can afford....some day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Can you not tell the difference between PAL and NTSC because the NTSC versions say Spectravision and the PAL versions Spectravideo? That seems to be a good guide (but of course I could be wrong)... I always assume they're PAL unless I`m sure they're not and the buyer is sure...

SVision case + SVideo label and the other way around, as well as matching cases and labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know on Bumper Bash, mine is SpectraVideo and it is NTSC. The number in the lower right corner are also a hint I believe. The PAL Bumper Bash should have a "C" somewhere in that number while the NTSC does not. My MASTER BUILDER has SA-210 in the lower right corner and my GAS HOG has SA-217. Both play fine and are as far as I can tell NTSC but both are marked SpectraVideo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I got them both for around $125 or so. Labels are decent but not perfect. Gas Hog has some wear to the screw holes but not enough to open the cart and I really think both are NTSC because I have PAL games that I can't see or play but these are fine. From the same person too. AND, I have a SpectraVision and a SpectraVideo Planet Patrol and both play fine. I just kept them both because they have the different name, I like it.

black dog Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I got my copy of MB on ebay about a year ago for about $40.00. I have this game solely as a collector, I think I played it for about two minutes before I realized how sucky it was, haven't played it since.

angelasguy03@yahoo.com Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Im in the same boat. My Master Builder is labled as a spectravideo, but it is definetly an American release. I just wish my Gas Hog was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Well I still havent recieved the package yet. Should be here today I hope!!! Maybe it's the NTSC version... *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 It came today!!!! As far as I can tell it's the NTSC version. The picture doesnt roll...The colors seem good. (The sky is blue) Is there anyway I can tell for sure?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Sounds right to me, sounds like my copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Wouldn't it be nice if the Spectra games had a "P" on the end like Obelix if the game was PAL. I wonder if they manufactured the NTSC games and the PAL games at the same place? Wonder if they ever got mixed up if so. Just a thought.

MegaManFan Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Clearly they did. Twice now I've had US carts with no P's on the end, bought in bins full of common games, that displayed a full PAL roll: Mario Bros. and Solaris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
