    Default European Games Releases

    Did the Mega CD ever get a release of Lunar? Or were review copies based on the US release?

    There are a few games I've never seen European releases of and would like to try and pinpoint which never made it here to the UK

    Nope, it never got Lunar. I don't think Working Designs ever considered the Euro market very seriously. However, Dragon Force and Sega Ages for the Saturn in europe where published by Sega of Europe.
    The smell of scorched oil hangs in the air as a premonition of danger, while the engine gloriously shouts its war cry...

    Throughout history, suspicion has always bred conflict. The real conflict, though, resides in people's hearts. This conflict has just begun.

    I know that Flashback was announced but never came across the pond; I've got the demo somewhere but it doesn't work

    Why because it was half decent?

    I've seen the Pal listing site and that seems to everything me and my friend have got....just wondered if that was just a list based on what had been picked up on ebay

    Thats a complete list unlessthere is someultra rare prototype or beta never released.

    From what I know the list is based on years of Ebay monitoring, old gaming mag release lists and officialin formation whenever available.

    Flashback and its sort-of-sequel Another World were both released in Europe for the Mega Drive. Flashback for the Mega-CD only got as far as a magazine demo before it was canned.

    Another World came before Flashback, silly.

    Was Heart of the Alien released in Europe?

    Nope, a US only game.

    PAL Mega CD library is a shame compared to the other markets. It's nothing like the Mega Drive one.

    And it's a pity having to look for American copies of both Lunar games, Popful Mail and Dark Wizard if you want these games in English. Not just because of non-fitness with a PAL collection with totally different cases, it's also because Mega CD it's more region-protected than the standard Mega Drive (and some NTSC games turn into a mess and desync when you convert them manually to PAL format with scdconvert).

    And yes, nor even European games like Heart of the Alien or Flashback (for Mega CD) were released in Europe, but you know, those were in fact Interplay's distribution decissions.
