Hey, that is MY website
Maybe some of the US publisher games will run in NTSC mode, but I must stress on the futility of looking for NTSC versions of software when an A1200 can run in PAL just fine. You will miss on Uridium 2, Disposable Hero or Battle Squadron, three of the best shmups for the paltform.

An A500 cannot switch between PAL and NTSC so I would recommend against it.. I don\'t like A500s anyway, not even the Plus.
There's loads of US A1200 models, I had one for years and ran ALL PAL software I had...
Ahh, it's good to see you again on a forum; I totally forgot that was you! Someone on the shmups.com forum suggested that I get a 1084 monitor that can output PAL.

Off-topic, I suppose the C64 got a lot more NTSC games.
