You´re totally insane!
What did you spend on each game?

I wouldn't want to play a PAL Alien Soldier on a Genesis. It would be sped up and too spastic, since that game was "optimized" for PAL when it was brought out over there. The Japanese version is the only way to go if you have an NTSC console and want to play the game properly.

i have Alien Soldier (PAL) it plays great i have not seen any problems

have you ever played the pal version of Alien Soldier on a US system your self

[Zebbe]

I have Alien Soldier (PAL) and as Joe says, it sucks to be played in 60 Hz. I'm forced to play with squashed screen in 50 Hz. Otherwise I can get the Jap version, which is too expensive and not really necessary actually. I don't find Alien Soldier that important, so I'll just stick with the much cheaper PAL version I got.

what do you mean by squashed screen on mine it plays full screen

[David J.]

If he plays in 50hz... then it's a squashed screen. Play the Japanese version via emulation, and compare it to your genesis with the UK version. The sound is a lot faster. If you had the US version of Streets of Rage 2 and played it in 50hz, the audio would be a lot faster.

Anyway, I got Galactaic Attack for the Sega Saturn today. The case has some scratches, but the hinges are fine, and the game looks like it has never been played! $4.99

well that just the audio Joe Redifer makes it look like the game is just umplayable wane you play the PAL version on a US system

No, it would be a lot slower.

redrum666: The game won't be unplayable because you play it in 60 Hz, but everything will be too fast since the PAL version is optimized as Joe says, which means the PAL version isn't 16.7% slower in all aspects like many other PAL games are.

[David J.]

download the US SOR 2 rom, and set it to PAL right after you start the game.

The game is slower, but the audio is faster.

Yes, you are right. It sounds insane.

[Knuckles-chaotix]

I got alien soldier pal and its full screen, fast paced..i think its a crap title anyways.

[Joe Redifer]

i just saying Joe make it out as if the game is unplayable thats all

I most certainly am not. I think you are just a bit sensitive to the issue since you happen to own the PAL version. The game is a bit faster on your NTSC system, but nowhere did I say it was "unplayable". I just prefer playing games at their originally intended speed. Would you like to play a slow Sonic 1 in PAL? No, you'd hate it. But still, it's playable.
