I have Michigan. One of the most terrible games that I've ever played. High level concept migh be cool but execution is half baked, clunky ad broken at best. But being a game associated with Goichi Suda that should not come as a surprise.

I've always wanted to know - does the PAL version of Michigan play alright on NTSC consoles? Or does it chop the bottom of the screen off?

Im not sure if it'll run on a US PS2?

I'm looking for the shady 505 release myself, hook a dog dude up noise!
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

I'm probably going to regret posting about it, because it's one of the games I most want for the PS2, and already extremely pricey, but Gregory Horror Show.

It's based on a series of Japanese shorts released to DVD. (I'm not positive, but I don't believe they were aired on TV.) The shorts, and the game are very mock horror/horror themed comedy.

It can be converted to run on NTSC and the region check be bypasssed. noise is right, part of the image will be cut off, top or bottom depending how you set the PS2 PAL TO NTSC Y Fix in the conversion.

@ pierrot - I think that game is based on shorts done in England. Certainly is a weird game, all the characters are box shaped. The hotel is a slow walk discover mode.

Surprise, both PAL Michigan and Gregory Horror have a 60hz mode!

If you check ebay.co.uk or amazon.co.uk you'll find much better prices on UK released games than you will on ebay.com or amazon.com.
