yeah it's good news, although of course, I keep wondering, what took them so bloody long!

Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

I don't think the TurboGrafx was ever released here. And the problem with ALL VC titles, is that they need to be "officially" released & rated - which takes some effort & $600 per title.

I don't think there has been a single VC title released in Australia yet, which has not already been released/reviewed in the past.

If the company makes $3AU per unit sold on VC, that's 200 units before break even point. Doesn't seem like a lot, but for a "niche" VC title in Australia...

If you're talking about ratings you're quite wrong here. All titles older than the OFLC have had to be rated, and those ratings have been a great source for future VC releases.
