[comp.sys.amiga] Britsh games in the US

     I have recently got a few magazines from overseas and the graphics
on the games in Europe, well let's say, put the US's stuff to shame. Some
of the ideas for these games are incredible as well as the elusive 'O'
word...ORIGINAL! Does any magazine distributor carry any of these (besides
Psygnosis, MicroPlay...etc.)...like UBISoft (seem to have some incredible
stuff). Any 800 numbers or company names would be appreciated.

Speaking of British games in the U.S....  Any word on when (or if) R-Type
is going to be released over here?  I've seen it advertised in some of
the British magazines, and I'd really like a copy.  'Twas one of my favorite
mindless arcade games.  Maybe I'll just have to go over and pick it up
myself...

Anyone know if they use the higher PAL resolution for R-Type?  That is, if
I *did* go over and pick it up would it work on my NTSC machine?
