- Strange, mine is the NTSC version and says so right on the label. It's
- not a great video, but I guess it's meant to get you started right
- away without having to flip the manual. Your software vendor must have
- imported the game direct from europe and got everything in PAL.

- As for my opinion of the game... I don't have one. I really have'nt had
- the chance to play it beyond about 10 minutes when I first got it.
- Don't you just hate it when studies interfer with your game time?
