Wester Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I have a Realsports Soccer cart with a P after the title on the end label. I looked for it in the AA rarity guide but couldn't find it. Is this just a PAL game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yes, this topic was covered in the past 2 weeks when someone was asking about a Joust P end label. There are several games that have the P on the end label. This institutes PAL. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wester Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Shouldn't there be an entry for it in AA's Rarity Guide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 The AA Rarity Guide is almost exclusively NTSC.. there is no PAL Rarity guide - yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 He should probably just make a second section of foreign games like DP did in their guide. Any game that is standard PAL, but listed in the regular rarity list due to the majority of the company titles being there, should have a note in the foreign section. I probably own 100-125 foreign titles, so I'd be happy to scan those to include in the guide. Not bad for a guy from the states!

The problem is that the PAL territories have a load of unresearched stuff. It's not that the information hasn't been written up yet, it's just that the information isn't known. The DP guide goes some way by providing info on non-NTSC carts but only where there are no NTSC version, and even then some of the rarities are waaay off-base. We need a concerted effort of about 10 people to bang their heads together until a good PAL list comes out, and even then it won't be complete, as there are so many pirate variations. It doesn't help that the games in, say, Oz are very often quite different to the games in Europe, yet they're all PAL. What we need is an open database where people can submit their own feelings about rarities, submit new carts and scans etc., and the number of carts they've seen. That way we can have a dynamic list. The only problem is that it'd be open to abuse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakpack Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 At least the title of this thread isnt Realsports Soccer Pee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 At least the title of this thread isnt Realsports Soccer Pee I won't go there. I'm assuming a few of the foreign collectors on here own a fair share of foreign games. That is probably where you would want to start, but Albert would have to get it going by creating a section on here for specifically PAL games. Input is welcome as to how it may be broken down, if that is desired, or just have a normal search based on company (if known), title, etc. We definitely need some responses from other AA members though and see what they think. Like I said, I'd be willing to do whatever I could. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarianer2003 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 there is no PAL Rarity guide - yet! But I'm still working on it... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I'll look through my DP Guide. I think I had games that he didn't have listed. If I can, I'll scan them and put them up. You want me to PM it to you instead? We need to get a master list up on the web so we can reference what we own vs what is known.

SS Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 It has always surprised me that PAL countries ever got "Real Sports SOCCER" to begin with. Why wasn't THIS generally used instead? Kinda weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarianer2003 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Not ever - some PAL-carts have printed FOOTBALL - RealSports SOCCER on their label Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
