Title: European NES games  (CIC lockout region "
Post by: thx1138 on May 22, 2005, 07:39:33 AM
Don't know the correct terminology for this stuff. European NES carts, that won't work on a PAL British (and if I am right, Italian and Australian???) machines.

I have;

Lolo
Kid Icarus
NES Open
Mario & Yoshi
Teenage blah Turtles
S. Mario 2
Duck tales 2
Kickle Cubicle
Goal


I've also got, what I think is a Dutch NES. With cosmetic damage. I've tried pluggin it in to British mains with a shaving adapator, and get blinking light syndrome.

they are (i think) PAL games for the NES, but a different variety that won't work on British PAL machines, but will on most European ones.

Yea, I think those are the PAL B versions whereas the British/Italian/Australian are PAL A.  That would be my "educated" guess since I have a bunch of PAL B games from around here (Benelux & Germany).  I would be interested, but I should really finish my NTSC NES collection before I continue with my PAL collection otherwise I'll never finish anything ;)  What prices did you have in mind tho for these games?

P.S.  I also have some games that, even though they have the German code on the label, have a message that they will only play on the Mattel version (instead of a PAL B console)...confusing...
