You will be able to play it on your PAL Gamecube by getting Freeloader or Action Replay both of which are available from www.play.com
You could buy the game itself from www.importmadness.co.uk, they are based in Canada.
I have just ordered from them, ask them to mark your items as a gift so you have a good chance of not getting stung for duty!
Make sure that your TV can take a 60hz signal (most modern TV's can) as this is what import games will play at.
Hope this helps.


mfield.

Have it here too, works great with the Freeloader. Fantastic game, unfortunatly i have to wrestle the controller of my girlfriend when i want to play.

Hard to say TmB. Its so easy to play, first time i can ever say i found playing a game relaxing. There is no pressure to get a high score or complete a level, you can take your time and play for a couple of hours (very easy to do) or just 10 minutes.

The idea behind it is that you take care of your island and all the things living there. You go around pulling out weeds, fishing, collecting bugs, planting flowers and trees. If you collect a unique fish, bug or even fossil you can bring them to the museam for them to be shown of to everyone else.
You can also sell everything you collect to earn money to pay of your mortgage so you can get bigger and bigger houses so you can fit more stuff in.
Every day your house will be rated as to how good it looks.
Different events happen on different days so you feel like you should log on every day and see how everyone is doing and what new items you can collect that day.
You can link it up to a GBA to get extra features, you can even download the NES games you collect to the GBA so you can play em on the jacks.

Its bizarre, reading above it doesnt sound at all like a game i would play but i am about to grab the controller from my girlfriends hands all the same....

never heard of it ... did it get good reviews ? graphics etc ? is ti gud ?

once i finish eternal darkness im going to get it. its 30sterling on import madness. thats about 45e or maybe a bit less. ill have to get that freeloader thing also. whats the story with that, just boot up with it then run ur imported game?
