None; although someone here mentioned something about a UK KoF R1...

I have a UK (or at least english) KoF R-1. Cresus has some stock of it left, 22$ with shipping! buy it! it's worth every penny! or as some of our lesser english illiterate friends would say, "it's the money worth". I think SNK let people order english copies of the B&W games from their site. They released all the B&W games (not many) except for like a couple (Melon Chan, Shougi...)

Where can you get these KoF R-1 (UK)? Cre$u$ site? Where's that? I know the UK KoF R-1 exists, but has anyone seen the Samurai Shodown or any of the other B/W games in clamshell or US cardboard?

Thats what confused me. I was looking at the backup of their original site, and it has english versions listed on the US version of the page in the BW section.

The B&W games were available for sale directly from SNK-USA. As someone else mentioned, it was all of them except Melon-chan, Master of Shogi, Dokodemo Mahjong, and maybe not Puzzle Link either. My memory is fuzzy and I've had conflicting reports about whether Puzzle Link was available (they would have had to translate it unlike the other games which had dual language ROMs).

I never ordered them from SNK-USA, so I don't know if perhaps they were actually the same as the English packaged games released in Asia. The only difference would have been a little one after the catalog number and maybe SNK-USA's address on the back. In any case, they wouldn't have had cardboard cases since those weren't introduced until later, around when Pacman came out.
