Chardson - Missed conversion... (03-04-2006 07:12)
The softhouse that converted this one made a bad job. The game apears to be converted from the X68000 version. The graphics are the same except that MSX has much less colors, so they used a error difusion algorithm. Of course, the results were pretty awful. Too bad, because the Master System version proves that it could be much better, if done from scratch focusing the plataform.

Also, they didn't took care on scrolling and, apparently, borrowed the code from X68000 too. Results: very, very, very slow moving and awful cluncky-scrolling. Made a very good game almost unplayable, specially for a Ultima Series game, where you have to travel the world a lot. A single travel here could take up to half an hour when it should take only five to ten minutes.
