Is it Possible?

Is it possible to play european pc games on an american or canadian pc?

[SteveThaiBinh]

Yes, it is. Check that you have the right language version, though. There's nothing like DVD region coding for PC games, but there are restrictions on where retailers like Amazon will mail games.

I don't know if they apply between the US and Europe - you'd have to go onto the Amazon website to check that. I couldn't order games or DVDs from Amazon.co.uk when I lived in Latvia or Viet Nam, and they said legal restrictions were the reason. Unless this has changed, of course... But there's no problem actually getting the games to work.

If i ordered a game would it work or would i need to convert my pc.

[Darth Flatus]

no conversion required, of any sort, providing your pc is up to spec.

If you ordered a game from a European retailer, it would work fine on a North American PC. As I said, just check that you are ordering the right language version.

Some time ago I tried purchasing a copy of Planescape: Torment - the single package, not the dual garbage - from Amazon.com. They wouldn't mail it here. And Torment isn't the only one game they wouldn't mail, either.

The only problem is when you want to play a european console game. Europeans use the PAL code.
