Commodore 64 will NTSC games work on a PAL system?
I bought an old style commodore 64 off ebay I have no games for it though and it would be cheaper to buy a load of games from the USA but I dont know if they will work. I know the two systems run at different clock speeds so I dont know if the games will work at all or run faster or slower.
I had a similar thing with my Atari when I bought a game from the USA all the colors were wrong.
Your only concern is whether your TV supports 60Hz
Why not get a C64 Emulator for your PC and download virtually every game ever made for it.
