PAL/NTSC-J Only PS1 games
« on: December 30, 2024, 01:24:24 pm »
I have a few games in my collection/planning on getting which are PAL/NTSC-J only (Any games that came out in the UK, but not the US) and was wondering if people could recommend me any? I have Chaos Break and Mickey's Wild Adventure with plans to pick up Overblood 2 and HellNight. I just think games that came out in PAL regions, but not NTSC are neat.

Of the four titles you've listed, only Mickey's Wild Adventure is exclusive to Europe. Do you actually mean exclusive to Europe or just not also available in North America? The other three games were also released in Japan.

Sorry, I meant not available in the US. I'll edit my post a little.

Here are some worth mentioning:

Bishi Bashi Special
Ghoul Panic
iS: Internal Section
Klaymen Klaymen: Neverhood no Nazo
Mad Panic Coaster
Vib-Ribbon

Or, you could take an alternative approach and seek out titles published by Ignition Entertainment and Phoenix Games.

Are there any specific genres you're fond of? Or ones you just have no interest in playing?

Thank you for the list! I will have a look at those. My favourite genres are platformers and horror, but would be interested in anything unique.

Priority would be anything that came out in the UK, but not the US. PAL over Japanese version where possible. I like to look for more niche games not everyone will know about.

on the top of my head

in terms of pal

Rapid reload / gunners heaven in japan
hell night

are some of the cool titles to look out for in pal format. still though you guys getting fed in the USA, way more good stuff out there compared to us. trying to do the opposite in spades.

In terms of japan I'd look at some lists ton of exclusives out there in the 2d shootemup beatemup arcade department. most of em pretty pricy though but quite a goldmine.
