ATARI VCS 2600 NTSC/PAL COMPARISONS
left: NTSC Version / right: PAL Version


PITFALL II (C)1983 Activision
p2n1          p2p1
As you can see, the overall color pallete differs. Pitfall Harry looks a bit pale on PAL.
Very bad: the colorful sky shading is missing in the PAL version - the lower rock too.


p2n2           p2p2
Harry's face goes NTSC when he's out for swimming or ladder climbing (below) and
animal/object colors aren't exact either.

p2n3          p2p3
don't know which waterfall looks better.

p2n4          p2p4
but maybe you prefer the more brownish tinted PAL version? It's up to you...

WINNER: NTSC
pretty sky & stable colors. Our hero Pitfall Harry saves the day on NTSC.



BATTLEZONE (C) 1983 Atari

believe it or not, same game ...  no shading at all on PAL.

WINNER: NTSC
