Yes! there are NTSC Versions of SHadow Of th Beast I, II, and III, as well as Leander..and Agony I believe. However, not Canon Fodder as far as I know. You have to boot that in PAL.
What kind of Monitor are you using? the Agony screen should not look smaller...........it should look bigger when in PAL mode................unless you have a Philips/Magnavox monitor....which automatically shrinks PAL screens to fir into NTSC ones.....this is actually a cool feature because you wont get the screen cut off..............because even if you ran a Game in PAL mode.........you will still be missing lines........and thats why Philips/Magnavox made their screens shrink PAL into the NTSC area...................although personally I believe they overdid it a bit..........it shrinks it slightly too small.
If you tried a diffeent RGB monitor or even an NTSC TV (Non Philips/Magnavox) that supported PAL, then the image would remain the same size but just shifted slightly up so that you can see the important playing areas.
However its handy to have a Philips/Magnavox TV.
