Bump, still looking for these sealed games.

 

Be sure to ask the seller to pad the box with the excrement of a rocking horse!

 

Oh, I will, don't you worry. I'm deadset on having a full and sealed collection. I just picked up the Windows 95 version of Marathon 2 not long ago.

 

Bump, still looking for these games.

 

Buuuuump.

 

Bumpedy bumpedy bump bump.

 

Bump. Could a mod please change the title of this thread to "DeChief's WTB Thread: Sega Saturn, Mac Games and more!"?

 

By NTSC, I assume you mean US, Japan and South Korea... as they're all NTSC?

 

Japan is NTSC/J, not just NTSC. Yes, I mean US games.

 

Actually, NTSC is a colour encoding system, nothing more. You shouldn't really use it as a description for the games

 

Are you sure about that?

As a television engineer? Completely.

Many things get misnamed. Have you ever asked for a Coke and got a Pepsi?

Sometimes, it's the companies who do it - I think PAL/A on NES might have been Nintendo. It doesn't change the fact that PAL is a colour standard and a colour standard ONLY. They're just using the word as part of a (internal) code to tell themselves that it's from a region that uses PAL television sets but a region where they have certain lockouts for that console. Did they use PAL/A for Super Nintendo? Nintendo 64? GameCube? NO. Hence it was JUST a code for NES. It could have been anything - EUR/FR or 012 where 1 = PAL and 2 = France.

NTSC is a committee. They define the standard for transmitting colour information in several regions. You could argue that it's only a broadcast format and technically doesn't apply to games consoles at all, even The NTSC-J is indeed the variant used in Japan, but the USA used NTSC-M. As did Chile, South Korea and several other countries. So even by that logic, NTSC does not mean USA.

 

Wow, a TV engineer? What kind of jobs does that get you exactly? Sounds interesting.

 

Bump, I'm still looking for a sealed copy of Marathon 2 for Macintosh and Super Marathon for the Pippin.

 

Bump.
