I have this copy, it's weird, X and △ function as they would do normally and all of the menu voice samples are Simon Templeman's but the in-game and FMV dialogue are in Japanese. All the text is still in English too. Soul Reaver 1 was only released on PC in Japan and then SR2 came out on PS2 there.

Mega-Lo-Mania/Tyrants got what looks at least two versions with changed art for the Gods mainly to make Scarlett look much cuter, although the others look pretty cool as well. Not sure if the voice samples were changed

I really love this cover. Played it on the...what's it? FM Towns and was really impressed by this little machine. I mean it is a PC in a screen and what Apple did many years later with their iMac the Japs already did in the 80s or something. i do not think we had anything like the FM Towns in the West and it is an amazing system and also amazing that a computer that was only released in Japan has English language games.

Also her ass is cute and those tits are pretty fine too. I have always loved Zak. I love the art work, I love the newspaper that comes with it (does the Japanese version also come with the newspaper? I mean I got the newspaper and it was translated in German and I just adored the art work so much).

>The operating system used is Windows 3.0/3.1/95 and a graphical OS called Towns OS, based on MS-DOS[3] and the Phar Lap DOS extender (RUN386.EXE). Most games for the system were written in protected mode Assembly and C using the Phar Lap DOS extender. These games usually utilize the Towns OS API (TBIOS) for handling several graphic modes, sprites, sounds, a mouse, gamepads, and CD-audio

It's perfectly logical but a little weird seeing the same policy invested in japanese releases of western games as in the opposite scenario: in each case, publishers could sometimes muster zero faith in objectively superior artwork and simply settled for the SORT of artwork their target demographics were accustomed to.
