Quick question: Does region matter?

Post by mattek »

Hi there,

I know that most of Dreamcast online titles were supported in US and only few PALs contained network multiplayer. However, for example Quake III Arena and Worms World Party have multiplayer option in both regions. And here comes my question: are there different servers for both releases? Or it doesn't matter and I will be able to play with people from America using PAL game disc?

Best regards!

AFAIK Quake III PAL release doesn't have any network code (EDIT: or was it no BBA but has modem)?

Dunno about WWP though....

No BBA support and Dreamarena Auth. But Unreal Tournament PAL is completely offline. :lol:
