Thanks for all that great info, maybe I need to play the Sega version again with all that in mind! =D And thanks again for creating the super-replayable Sega version in the first place; this comparison would've been much less interesting without it!FRGCB Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754639927704915007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514691251207559863.post-19824017503850291102020-04-15T18:55:14.604+03:002020-04-15T18:55:14.604+03:00Hello Dude. Thanks for your kind review.
I'm ...Hello Dude. Thanks for your kind review.<br /><br />I'm Mun, lover of this game :) and author of the Sega version.<br /><br />It tooks several years to complete and I have many anecdotes about its development. I will share some ot them while I'm being remembering.<br /><br />While I been working on my port, Locomalito released the L'Abbaye des Morts v.1.1 and v.1.2. The PC skin (let's call it skin but it's not really a skin) is based on v.1.2 where Locomalito increased player 'speed, some enemies speed and some graphics. I replicate those changes in the PC skin.<br /><br />The other skins are based in the original v.0 and respects all speeds and enemies positions.<br /><br />I focused my efforts on the MD skin so I hid an "extension" and extends the adventure x2 that I call "crusader mode". You access it by beating this skin in hard mode where you play as a crusader and was created in the aim of "what a pitty it finish while the world is still there". You would need your friends, you can't do it alone but with friends, so if you go right to Jean it would be impossible to enter the last room. Five crusaders go after Jean, if you die while "crusader mode" only four of then would burn him. Some background changes in this mode and maybe some other things<br /><br />On MD skin there are two refferences to Cursed Castilla (the Locomito/Gryzor87 biggest hit): the blue flower and Don Ramito's skeleton in Death's room . Also there is an enemy that I call "Coco" with three differents behaviour: if green (easy), if orange (normal) and the purple (fucking difficult, you'd better restart).<br /><br />Pressing Mode button on a six buttons joypad changes palette on CGA and GG skins. Also pressing buttons while switching on the system will show curious stuff ...<br /><br />A superdeformed NES skin, a color class ZX skin and the ability to play audio CD by using the MegaCD was in the works but never happended :(<br /><br />Cheers :)Munhttps://twitter.com/MoonWatcherMDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514691251207559863.post-597629414410244962019-11-23T03:04:15.271+02:002019-11-23T03:04:15.271+02:00Thanks for another great review and comparison.

Thankfully it is still available.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740500512860368819noreply@blogger.com
