They may have talked plenty about them, but how is your everyday English Eddie meant to actually get their paws on these fancy-pants import video games, let alone play them on their funny old PAL setups? Zy Nicholson shows us the score!<\/p>\n

Admittedly, this feature hasn’t aged quite as well as other N64 Magazine features. Compared to their expos\u00e9s on games development, the Japanese market and sumptuous homemade pastries, this one is a little bit boring. It is practical, yes, if you happen to find yourself stranded in 1997’s Scotland and in dire need of playing Tetrisphere<\/i> – but it’s not exactly great reading material.
\nIt does, however, let all you folks on the western hemisphere know the shit PAL gamers had to go through. No S-Video ports! Huge freakin’ borders! Slow frame rates! Long delays! Having played the N64 a lot in the past few months, the speed isn’t quite<\/i> as bad as I remembered it, but some cases are really woeful – they say Goldeneye<\/i> got a good conversion, but man, when it’s hit with slowdown, it’s hit hard<\/b>. All the fog in the world can’t stop Cradle from suffering rendering lag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
