Foreign PC Games
Would there be any problems running a foreign PC game program on my U.S. Dell Dimension PC? The game I'm thinking of is "GTR FIA GT Racing Game". The game is currently made in Germany and only in German.

... PC Games aren't region coded.
The only problem you might have with foreign games, that I can think of, would be if they're from somewhere like, say, Japan, and so the file system they use could be a little different since Japanese characters might be used. However, you could always just add the language support to Windows, and you'd be fine.
That wouldn't apply to a game from Germany though.

I just read a little about this game, as long as you know German you should be good to go if you can find someone to ship it to you. There's also a demo of it floating around, have you tried that yet?

I've downloaded the demo. It's in English. You can only race one track( Spa in Belgium). Playing the demo, it seems like a fantastic sports car driving sim. There seems to be some question about a eventual U.S. release. Probably a U.K. release in the future. I know Amazon.de sells the game.
