Removing Dragon's lair SNES conversion

I am thinking of removing the SNES conversion from the game entry:
http://hol.abime.net/415

because the gameplay is quite different (a 2D platformer).

Gameplay video:

Any objection?

I have already added a conversion note on the matter but I'll need to write something else to make sure it is understood that the SNES version is also different from the NES version.

Amstrad CPC/ZX Spectrum version is also different. I don't know how but Russians ported SNES version to Mega Drive as Assassin's Creed.

Yes, remove the entry. Has nothing to do with the classic Dragon's Lair port.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I have removed:
- The SNES conversion

- The CPC, Spectrum and C64 versions.
Example of the C64 version:

Those versions seem to differ less from the original than the SNES version since they seem to keep a time-based reaction gameplay, so I could understand if some people protest and want the conversions added back.


I have left the conversion screenshots for the CPC and SNES in case someone wants to plead in their favour (which I doubt). I'll remove them (but keep a copy) in a few weeks.

You could have posted a link to your video :

Interesting. I could not find information about it.
I wonder if it is a "fully original" port or if they used the engine from another game (like the SNES Sonic game which is a hack of Speedy Gonzales).
