Swami Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Was the updated ROM version of Lost Caves of Kroz only to make it more PAL compatible. I see it mentioned as original and updated but not with an explanation. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 No, the updated version makes a room a little easier to solve is all by my understanding. Someone else better versed will expound I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The update was to make the notoriously difficult 'Room 7' ... less difficult, if memory serves. During testing, that room went through several iterations, and we struggled a lot with making a hint that wasn't just the answer. The initial "hard" version that was released was actually a lot easier than the very first version of the room we faced during the beta. During beta, the only PAL-related adjustments related to speed. The PAL consoles actually run the CPU faster than NTSC, and the game logic for some of the action-based puzzles simply ran too fast. That was addressed during the beta -- no PAL-related changes were ever made that I'm aware of after the first version shipped. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 and what's the difference, if any, between the rom of the ACIB 'Almost Complete In Box' copies (http://atariage.com/forums/topic/224176-any-updates-of-lost-caves-of-kroz-release/?p=2984798) and that of the first version released?
