Oh yeah. After I modded my PS1 to play Japanese games, I picked up most of the Japanese DDR games for that system. Other Japanese games that I have include Tobal No. 2 and Vib Ribbon.

I think I may have gotten a game from England once but I'm not sure.

Only for my Dreamcast-- I imported some Japanese stuff that will now never see American shores on that system, most notably Rez and Guilty Gear. Modding the system was not a problem, as the Gameshark CDX works as a boot disc (they're not hard to burn on a PC, either).
...I later bought a PS2, which has both games, so in the end I guess importing was unnecessary, but both games were cheap and have English menus, so no biggie.
I imported Naruto:GTN 2&3 from play-asia, and they both work with the freeloader disc. No modding at all.

I own the Japanese GameCube games DreamMix TV World Fighters and a remake of Adventure Island. I play them on my GameCube thanks to the FreeLoader.

Yep. Got Naruto 3 (and will be getting Naruto 4). Love the lack of modding needed to play them on the gamecube. :)

3 days ago, I bought Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! for DS off an import site. This is a Japan-only rythym game from the Gitaroo Man team, so anyone who liked that title should look into this, because I've heard nothing but good things:

Since I moded one of my Saturns, I've been importing many titles. Mostly handheld games though.

Didn't have to mod my Saturns, just got some Gamesharks and Pro Action Replays. Picked up an Eva game, a puzzle game for some real popular thing
(Tokemei Memorial?), and some... um... other game.
For my DS, I have Jump Superstars.
... and I have four games for my British SNES.

I've never played an imported game on any of my systems. But, ever since I got into the Slayers series, I've been looking into ways to get my hands on the Slayers RPGs that were only released in Japan. Do any of you guys know any good, reliable places I can go to for information on importing those games?
And how do you mod your Playstation/PS2 to play imports? My cousin tells me that he was able to play an imported PS game by leaving the top open. But that method sounds a little strange to me. :shrug: Does it really work?

I have Metal Slug and Dragon Ball GT for my PSX. Fire Pro Wrestling D on my Dreamcast.
I don't import a whole lot due to language barriers, but I will probably end up importing Jump Super Stars soon because I keep hearing all these good things.
I've only imported Daigasso Band Bros.(DS).

JSS arrived for me today.
it is hard to read and it's a blast to play:) :anime: :D
I gave up on finding Double Dragon for PS1 a long time ago. If anyone has it I'd like to buy it.

When I was on holiday in america I bought some Game boy games, but only one of those was US-only (Samurai Jack and the Amulet of Time).
I do plan on getting a freeloader disc and a Mega Man collection though, since it wasn't released in England for some reason :shrug:
way back before DBZ was popular in the US i bought DBZ for the (regular) gameboy, fun game for what it was.

KOF '97 for Saturn. They were selling it in one of those media recycling stores.
