Sounds like you think a game could somehow be "enhanced" in PAL mode due to
more processing elbow room. I guess I haven't finished a game yet, so I
haven't felt the pain of leaving out features due to cycle restrictions. I
guess I have a hard time with idea of a PAL version of a game being better
than the NTSC version (or even vice versa), especially if they're sitting on
the same cart. Perhaps the enhancement could be some scrolling credits a la
Activision at the bottom of the screen for PAL users... It wouldn't alter
the gameplay, so NTSC users wouldn't have much to gripe about. On separate
carts, however, I could more easily accept the idea of "Reflex for NTSC" and
"Reflex+ for PAL."
It does seem wasteful not to take advantage of the extra cycles though.
