Is it the red led vs green led thing?

At least I relate that to the Old/Newer Agnus.

Most Psygnosis games were available as NTSC versions.

Dyna Blaster, at least the version I had always switched to NTSC display on my A500.
Does a PAL specific version even exist of this game as I have yet to find one ?

I don't think it's a "real" NTSC display.. isn't it more like some crazy PAL 60Hz ?

Can't say.
I just remember my 1084S switched resolution and black borders where added in top and bottom on screen.
The only way I know of to get this game game to run in 50hz is to use the CUSTOM1=2 (PAL display) tool type in the WHDLoad version.

[edit]
From WHDLoad install readme;

The game is designed for a NTSC display. By default, the game runs with a fake
NTSC screen display. If your monitor or TV supports NTSC, you should use `NTSC'
in tooltypes.
For PAL display, use CUSTOM1=2.

I'd love to get a CD32, but I've heard that the NTSC models won't play PAL games, despite some trick that you can do with a mouse. I could get a PAL CD32, but then I'd have to get something to convert the power.

Also..

Pinball Fantasies AGA and Monty Python's Flying Circus have NTSC versions...

A lot of games were NTSC during the first few years of the Amiga (1000), as I remember seeing a large gap at the bottom of PAL amiga's screen. It was annoying! Then a few years later when all the games were PAL they filled the gap.

What about the Rick Dangerous series? Did those games ever get an NTSC release?

The answer to the first game is here (see publisher info). http://hol.abime.net/1235

Next, you can do a search for the others.

Ahh, I see it, thanks! Right under my nose! I will have to look at other games.
