Andrew... are we talking about the PC Engine/TurboGrafx ?
There was no official UK release for either of these machines.
The small UK representation that existed, took Japanese PC Engine systems
and repackaged them for the UK market - some very small amount of units
were modified for PAL video output, but the majority were modified for SCART.
But the games for these systems in the UK were all Japanese games.
Mostly, they were carefully chosen to avoid large amounts of Japanese text.
As for playing differences between US and Japan - most games were
translations only, with no other modifications (except possibly the
name). Some games had more major surgery, and mostly for strange or
unknown reasons:
Magical Chase - different 1st level graphics
Splatterhouse - red versus white hockey mask
JJ & Jeff/Kato & Ken: fart turns to spray paint; bathroom stuff becomes
less obvious
Mesopotamia/Somer Assault: removed 'god' references for origin of the "main
player thing"
