Why do only strange-looking people have appeals that I am begged to read?

Tangent:
I have noticed that the attractiveness of commuters varies significantly based on time of day in the NYC subway: 3:55 A train at Columbus Circle (fugly!) vs. 4:01 A train (cuties!).

Tangent:
What other titles, besides Shadow of the Beast, were improved/streamlined for North American release? I'm not talking about Magical Chase (which received a major graphic rehaul) or the Working Design titles (I can't remember the final consensus on the extent to which they were/weren't altered).

If we can't list games like SOTB, we could include titles like Sinistron, which was (I think) made easier than its Japanese predecessor (Violent Soldier).

There's a thread on here that lists all of the changes between the US/JP versions, but I couldn't find it after a quick search.

Well, someone's gotta help us, if only because it is 2012 now.

Dragon Slayer PCE has a cool interactive Omake sort of demo when you boot using a sub-System 3 card. The Turbo version only has the marionettes and music.




Here's the different Dynastic Hero screens-

Huh, never knew that.  I always thought the DS screen was cool, but now I wish they'd kept it asis.  I think I ultimately prefer the US Dynastic Hero screen.  More purdy artwork to look at, however, it would've been nice if they'd done some animation in it.  I like the eye blinking, but, I don't like that they're both at the exact same time.

Thanks Black_Tiger. I think you surpassed the number of games that were on Darkman's old site :)
