Would an American version of lost artefact work on my pc?

Dia2blo · 10-09-08, 17:17

simple question. I havent had a copy for years now, and cant find any english versions on ebay, so will an american version work on my british pc?

EDIT: should've posted this in the lost artefact section... sorry :S

PC's work the same no matter where they are, the only regional difference is language, yes an Americam version would work exactly the same as a UK version, only difference could be the packaging.

Even the packaging might be the same, to a certain extent. My version had both "artefact" and "artifact" on it.

theres also some multi lingual versions of lots of games (ie. European Version of TR:L is multilingual including English, Italian, Spanish, German, Russian etc.) So yeah, the only major difference is the languages used in the game (and on the packaging).
