What is the rarity of the PAL versions of Survival Island & Sword of Saros? I see they are an 8 for NTSC.

I won an auction recently and paid a high price because I thought these were NTSC. I received them and they ended up being PAL.

Did I get suckered?

Are you sure they're PAL? I read somewhere that some of the ones marked PAL were really NTSC.

Well after doing a little research (with the search button ) I see the PAL is on all of them and they work fine for NTSC.

So do true NTSC versions exist for these?

I couldn't find a image of an NTSC one. The database here shows PAL also.

There is no NTSC label for these, so the only way you can confirm whether they are PAL or NTSC is to test them. The PAL versions are very rare also, but, as with almost everything, being PAL they are not worth as much as their NTSC counterparts.

Yes. I have copies the audio files on cassette.

For a while we didn't know whether there were PAL versions of these but we found them last minute and put them on the version 2.0 Stella CD. As I recall, I think I accidentally named one or these wrong, though, or the subdirectory was named wrong.

mos6507,

Do you know if this is a genuine inlay:
