Mayhem Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I've got no PAL ROM for Canyon Bomber, Starship or Frontline on my CC2. I do have PAL for Checkers, Word Zapper and Flag Capture. Will have to check the rest closely. I don't think have the other two Carrere titles on PAL, and I definitely don't have Tomarc/Motocross on PAL.

Spirantho Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Checkers - reckon so. I think I have one. Canyon Bomber - Think so. I have multilingual instructions IIRC, so should be PAL. Flag Capture - Capture - don't know. No-one's reported one. Football - Also not sure. None reported. Star Ship - Outer Space - Ditto. Carrere Video: Entombed - Squeeze Box Word Zapper None of those three have been reported. CBS Electronics: Front Line Not reported. Imagic: Shootin' Gallery And again, not reported. Xonox: Motocross Racer Tomarc the Barbarian Guess what? Also not reported. By 'reported' I mean submitted to the PAL database. I'll have to check my PAL Checkers but I think it is PAL.

SS Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Canyon Bomber - Think so. I have multilingual instructions IIRC, so should be PAL. I'm thinking that Canadian released games could have come with multilanguage instruction manuals / boxes. Can anyone support this theory?

Osmeroid Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Multi-lingual manuals/boxes were most definitelyreleased in US/Canada, I had a sealed Space Invaders that I have since opened. Multi-lingual manual and box with an NTSC cart. Regarding Checkers, I thought that this was an NTSC only release, but I'm sure that I could remember seeing this game on sale in the UK. It'd be great if there was a PAL version. I don't think that Sears released any titles outside of N. America, so PAL format games would be extremely unlikely.

Spirantho Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 There are definitely no Sears games in Europe. As for the Canyon Bomber, by Multi-lingual I mean English, German, French, Spanish and Italian (I think it is) not just French and English. That's how they were packaged in Europe. However, I'll try and check tonight (forgot to last night. Oops). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Well Checkers and Flag Capture are both on the 32-in-1 so Pal versions must have been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Well Checkers and Flag Capture are both on the 32-in-1 so Pal versions must have been done. True, but that doesn't help us really, unfortunately. On the 32-in-1 you can also find Freeway Rabbit and Freeway Chicken, both of which are different to the released Freeway on cartridge, and exist nowhere else.

video game addict Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Well Checkers and Flag Capture are both on the 32-in-1 so Pal versions must have been done. Atari's Video Checkers or does the screen say Activision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Well like the other Activision games on the cart the logo has been taken out so with Checkers i can't tell which version it is. Freeway Chicken is the same as the version i have on Cartridge, Rabbit is just a graphics hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Freeway Chicken is the same as the version i have on Cartridge, Rabbit is just a graphics hack. I don't think they're exactly the same... and my point was that if they can do a graphics hack, they can do a PAL hack - hence the existence on the 32-in-1 doesn't really help. I'll have to dig out my Freeway and 32-in-1 and make sure I wasn't imaging the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I think that Acti Checkers was also included on one of the multi carts by HES, could they be the source of any PAL version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Super Hit Pak from HES has a PAL Activision Checkers. But I'm not sure Activision released one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Well that's the thing, I'll have to check my ROM archives. But I suspect you're probably right, I don't think Activision actually released a PAL Checkers themselves. Doesn't stop me including the ROM on my CC2 (and yes it is PAL as I've tested it against the NTSC one) Likewise for Flag Capture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Mayhem, can I mail you a little ROM wanting list (±50 titles)? I´m still looking for some hard to get ones. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Sure... can't guarentee I'll have all of them, but I'm fairly sure I've tested a lot of the ones I have on my CC2 to make sure they are really NTSC or PAL. (Mayhem PLC makes no assurances that they are 100% PAL or NTSC despite being told they are here heh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
