Lots of games were optimised for PAL. More than you'd think in fact. I was looking through a list of Saturn titles a while back and pretty much all of Sega's stuff was PAL-optimised. It was also pretty much a non-issue from the Dreamcast onwards, as they supported PAL60 out of the box to provide the best of both worlds. There were still some bad ports from shitty companies like Square, but I played Final Fantasies VII through X back in the day and enjoyed them just fine. They FINALLY provided an optimised PAL port for XII.

Plus importing and pirating games was a thing even back in the 90s. I was far from a rich kid and I had a chipped PS1 plus a bunch of American games. Then in the Dreamcast era it was blown wide open and you could just burn games without even needing to mod it. A friend of mine also had a conversion cart for his SNES way back in the early 90s to play American games, though I think they still ran slow on a PAL machine without a mod chip.
