NTSC games don't look funky provided that one's TV accepts NTSC signal. Most TV's sold nowadays support both, but mine doesn't.... my tv supports ntsc.... but it still doesnt look right... on other tvs that dont support ntsc it normally doesnt show up or flickers frantically... on mine the sprites just llok 'interlaced' with lines going through them.... When you try to run and NTSC game on a PAL system, usually one of the two things will happen: 1) The game is black and white and looks interlaced. 2) The screen is heavily distorted + see 1) My TV does the first. its in full color... a little distorted on bright colors... ive tampered with the colour settings it doesnt seem to help but im sure it supports ntsc... If it's only slightly distorted and does have full colors, don't worry about it; At least, I wouldn't...unless the distortion bugs the hell out of you.
