Unlike the first SMS game which was an MSX port, this was an original release and definitely one of the best 8-bit shooters. Nick Rox did a preview in Gamefan but it was never released in North America. It's a war themed action game, very arcade-ish and third-person. I played this a few years back and I liked it. Lone Soldier(Telstar/Tempest Software, PS1, 1996) They also ruined several great Japanese developed games with awful sprite changes. The games developed in Brazil like this one aren't very good although I find them interesting because they're exclusive to one country. Sitio do Picapau Amarelo(TecToy, SMS, 1997)īrazil got all kinds of original SMS content. Mega SWIV(Time Warner/Sales Curve, MD, 1994) It's quite good too but maybe Konami thought it was too pastel.
Pop'n Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventures(Konami, SNES, 1993)īeing a platformer, this was a side-story to the shooter series. This pic is from the Japanese version as I couldn't find a Euro one. It came out in 1988 in Japan as Final Bubble Bobble.Ī neat platform adventure starring an altered version of Sunsoft mascot Hebereke. The best pre-32-bit home version of Bubble Bobble. The lowest port graphically but it plays well. There is an arcade game of the same name but since the PS1 game is often labeled as "adventure" I assume it's different. I'm interested to know what this is about. They even took the Tamagon(little dragon) trophy out of Super Smash Bros. I guess Nintendo was too afraid to release this into Jesusland. There was no American branch of Enix at the time so we were denied despite the game being fully translated into English.ĭevil World(Nintendo, NES, 1984(In Japan, I don't know the year of the PAL release)) It has grown on me though and on its own it's pretty good. Initially I hated this game and considered it nothing more than a bastardization of Tecmo's great franchise. Kuru Kuru Kururin(Nintendo/Eighting, GBA, 2001)Īn impressive port of Gaelco's arcade game. I think Germany was the only country outside of Japan to get this game. The English in the pic is from a translated rom. The Game Gear version was released in North America and it's the same game aside from a few minor differences like the title screen and some of the music.īrian Lara Cricket(Codemasters, PC/PS1, 1999)Ĭricket and rugby games tend to get left in PAL zones. I consider this the best of the 8-bit Sonics.
The Famicom version has superior sound though. No gimmicks here, just a great platformer. I couldn't wait for Microsoft's Xbox release so I bought the Euro version. I haven't played it but I'm curious to know if it has the improved control found in the Japanese release Kaettekita Mario Bros. It's worth mentioning due to it being upgraded with cinemas. was released in North America but I'm talking about the German re-release. "Classic Series" Mario Bros.(Nintendo, NES) I jampacked as many games I find interesting into one post but there are tons more. Many of these games did see release in Japan though. This thread is devoted to the opposite, games released in PAL or PAL variant countries that were not released in North America. PAL television standard territories are used to being scammed of games released in North America.
