I've been lucky enough to own an import DC for a couple of years, and i've only just noticed how many games never arrived here from the States & Japan...

Ooga Booga: a kind of 4-player caveman olympics

Heavy Metal: A Capcom shooter/fighter based on comic of the same name

Evil Twin: a bit lame

Sega Marine Fishing: Bass Fishing but with sharks, stingrays etc

Sega Smash vol 1: 12 Sega 16-bit classics... Shinobi, Golden Axe, Sonic, Columns etc

...there are probably loads more, let alone the millions of Ganbare Goemon 176,897 games, obscure romantic RPGs and robot suit-shooters from Japan

It's a shame, surely it wouldn't have been TOO much effort to have released the US/Jap back catalogue in Europe. Especially with the Arsenal/Top Dogs/Dreamcast sponsorship/Front Page Advertising thing leaving foolish 'gooners' wondering what they were meant to be buying.

I totally agree I would love to play some Jap games such as a dating game just for a laugh

One game which didn't get released in Europe but which is well worth playing is the comical survival horror entitled "Illbleed".
