Prey: An Alien Encounter (CD32) - Nonsense in "Notes"
HoL link: https://hol.abime.net/1146
You can see there: "PREY CD32 is identical to the CDTV version with the addition of a fractal intro and different packaging." This is nonsense except of "fractal intro and different packaging." Maybe on a first look it only seems to be identical. But on a second look, you'll find out, the CD32 version is clean AGA. I did a few snaps and took them to Photoshop and here are two examples. Example 1 CDTV - 32 colors Example 1 CD32 - 130 colors Example 2 CDTV - 30 colors Example 2 CD32 - 239 colors How you can see, these two games are not really identical.

I am sure it is great that you are helping to maintain the correctness of HOL. But nonsense in the notes, might seem a little inflammatory. To my mind anyway

I suppose it's down to using English as second language. Something like "wrong description" or "inaccuracies" would sound better.

@jotd: Sorry, but I have a few comments/questions: 1) the intro doesn't play for me. Please fix! 2) Please install a trainer (fights with aliens aren't always fair! 3) Would it be possible to use "Custom" to select the language?
4) The CDTV version does not work. The read me file describes that there is only one installer for the CD32 version, but at the same time it also lists which kickstart the CDTV version requires. It was stated on "Hall of Light" that a whdload installer existed for the CDTV version! Now I'm confused... |
