What does PAL mean?

[Reece]

I am talkin bout the EU games

[Intimidacius]

It means Produce Arithmatic and Logic. Maybe it means Proton Arbitrary Lumping. Could be Programs Always Lacking. Best but not best, Peanut Aging Legume. Photo Altering Language? Phat Angus Linguini. Pardon All Lethargy. Who knows? Acronyms are fun, though.

Ouch. Ouchie! You cut Intimidacius deep. You asked, at least he answered. Wrong answer, but just as qualified as yours. Can't take a joke, or can you?

This thread reminds me of the jokes I made about Pal Rappies not being compatible with my TV and how I needed to go look for NTSC Rappies instead while I was looking for an Agito off of PINKAL Pals. Heh.

[Zaneatron]

yep kent has it right. i would say lines myself but u get the picture. it also uses more lines than ntsc so we normally have a better picture but on the newer tvs it doesnt make much differance

Kent got there before I could, PAL does mean Phase Alternate Line. Trust me, I know what I am talking about, I currently live in Europe and I have been puting up with the PAL - NTSC crap for my whole entire life. Why can't these assholes just standardise this crap, it would have saved me a small fortune with all the import ( US ie. NTSC ) games conslose I've had to buy other the years.

Phuck a liberal

[Reece]

Wait what is Phase Alternate Lines? Is it a special type of game?

This gives a summary of what PAL is, why it exists, and how it's different.
