Yeah, DVDs are region coded much like games ... although regions are kind of different again. Like Europe for example shares a region with Japan, and aren't the same region as Australia is [as they are with games]. Fortunately for DVD owners, multi-zoning DVD players are legal, unlike consoles which require a mod chip for such. *curses the hell out of it*
But PC games can be played on any computer [providing the computer's specs can support the game]. A friend of mine imported Diablo 2 from the US when it was first released. The only difference between his version and mine is the design of the discs [acutally, on checking my discs are made in the US, so they must just be newer than his]. He even installed it on my PC before I purchased my own copy of the game.
Then again if something has been added to new PC games, then I might be wrong, as I don't generally buy games for the PC. I'd have to ask my Diablo playing friend as he's a PC game nut. But the Abe games are too old to be affected by anything like that.
Abe Babe...
