Re: Can I play US PC games on an Australian PC?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

PAL and NTSC refer to the format for television broadcasts and video
cassettes or movies or tv shows on DVD; not the video you see on a computer
monitor, unless you are also watching tv with the compuetr using a tv card.

I just discovered that one can download popular PC games from Windows
Marketplace/Direct 2 Drive.

However, aren't US PC games in NTSC format and Australian PC games in PAL
format?

If I buy a PC game from the US and try to install it on my PC in
Australia,
will it work? Someone please help me out, I've wanted to know the answer
to
this for years!
