No, I've had Planet Ring since it came out but never got around to playing it unfortunately. There were so many great games online at that time that I had to pick and choose carefully. internet access fees were astronomical in those days (you paid by the minute) and I can remember my monthly bills coming to well over £200 sometimes :shock: .

From that list I did play Monaco Grand Prix online which was fun.

That's about as accurate a list as I can give you (I'm sure I've missed two or three )which names all games that got a PAL release but not in the US.

PS. I'm listed out, please don't ask for any more for now
LOL! Will do. And your lists are much appreciated, thank you!

The other games that received a PAL release but not in the US were the following:

F1 World Grand Prix 2

Oh wow! You guys got grandprix 2!? I thought the first one had sweet visuals and was my favorite F1 game on th DC, but it had a shoddy framerate :/ still fun though.

It has graphics approaching the quality of Le Mans/F355. BUT !, you know that slowdown you referred to ? It's TWICE as bad on the second game. Such a shame as it totally ruins the game.

Ah yes, I knew I'd missed a few. Thanks for rescuing my list !

Stunt GP was an average sort of a game don't you think ? I guess it lived in the shadow of Revolt - a true DC classic.

Because of the way you've shot your photo it's not that easy to work out what games you have. Please could you give us a list, if you can't be bothered to reshoot it, as I'm very interested in your collection.

You won a japanese DC in a works raffle That's sick !
Well here's a better pic. The only one missing from the prvious pic is Border Down. Under Defeat and Fast Striker are on the DVD cases.

That's a pretty nice collection. I'd like to have Vampire Chronicles and DDR Cub Mix(I've only got the first game). Have you got the Dancemat ? I saw it going quite cheaply recently. I haven't got the official one, just a copy but it works OK. I keep meaning to get it out to try it with Space Channel 5 - it's meant to be very playable.

Btw, what's Climax Landers ? I know it I'm sure, just can't remember !

Club Mix is awesome. I built a pad for myself since I got to a play level where soft mats weren't really feasible. I always meant to wire it to a Dreamcast controller as well to play Club Mix. The songs aren't too common, I haven't found a simfile set for StepMania that has them.
