T-Pac | 7,835 Graphics Team · Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Nice!!! Here's a game truly deserving of its good reputation! Funny that you'd end up getting the NTSC version from Belgium, where I'd think collectors would be much more satisfied with the PAL version. Have you played it yet? It would be great to hear your thoughts on such a milestone game for your collection. -CasualCart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is PAL "optimized" and not really playable in 60hz, so it's definitely a game you want in NTSC. Given the price difference however, I'm fine with settling for my PAL copies...

I hear you on that - I settled for a PAL copy as well, but playing it isn't an issue for me since my clone system has a region switch. -CasualCart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soundtrack seems a bit sped but is the actual gameplay? And should the answer be 'yes', does that mean it's better as a result? I don't know about that one.

Sumez | 3,134 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Yeah, both aspects of the game was sped up. So if you've been playing on an NTSC/US console, both the game and music has been running faster than "intended"! To be fair, it's actually a well handled optimization, and for the sake of a European release at the time, it was the best way to handle it, making it one of the few cases where the European audience weren't swindled. In retrospect, for collector purposes, it's annoying that I need to pull up a PAL console to play the game "properly", rather than popping it into my RGB modded US Top Loader Edited December 12, 2019 by Sumez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
