btw: does anybody know, who exactly made those grafx-modifications?
That's another thing I was wanting to know. It's very interesting they made such a big, but no-so-important graphic changes to begin with. Do you think they actually got American artists to do the new graphics?
One other major change I forgot to mention is the logo at the title screen. Its plain and only a few colors in the PCE version, but 3D'ish and nicely shaded in the Turbo version. Also, the new mid-background in Stage 1 of the Turbo version reveals more of the back-background wich now adds several more colors to the gradient.
Anyways, I think that, for whatever reason, Quest made all the changes.
The U.S. version doesn't say TTI anywhere, it just went from Copyright Palsoft, Copyright Quest to only Quest.
The new art itself in the first level and the new Shop is amazing. Then it was transformed into Turbo/PCE graphics as well as the rest of the game was put together.
And who else but Quest would have the motivation to do this to an already perfect game?
Maybe they were forced to send out the PCE version before they got it to where they wanted it and they kept working on it.
Its still weird that the reprint didn't get the upgrades. Or maybe it did and the PCE rom everyone is using is from the originator. Does anyone have the reprint that they can fire up to see if it's at least color bricked or medeival castled?
