Greg:
An even bigger problem is that most european television is based on the PAL
system, which is 625 lines with a 50 Hz vertical sync rate, and a totally
different aural to visual carrier carrier relationship. Bottm line - it
won't work even if you do adapt the line voltage. Better to ocasionally
rent a base unit somewhere; I think the game cartriges are the same for
either system.
