[edit] Region information

Despite having different covers when sold in the US and Japan. The game was essentially the same in both regions. If the cartridge detection process of the game was to recognize Mega Drive PAL hardware, the story introduction and ending would all be in Japanese. Vice versa NTSC hardware would display English.

1st: The Mega Drive/Genesis has 2 selectors, language (jap/eng) and frequency (50/60 Hz). That results in:

  • jap + 60 Hz = Japan, NTSC
  • eng + 60 Hz = North America, NTSC
  • eng + 50 Hz = PAL areas (Europe, Austalasia, ...)
  • jap + 50 Hz = not defined

2nd: Is that information really encyclopedic? --32X 08:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The way you are describing it.... is encyclopedic. I bet very few people know that.

[edit] Pics

What happened to all the screenshots? Why are we limited to just the picture of the box? It's one thing to delete a pic, is another to delete everything. Starze 06:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The pictures were a great way to help give the reader an idea of what Gaiares looks like in game, as well as helping to pad out the article and make the large unwieldy pieces of text I wrote about the levels seem less so. Perhaps the article had too many pictures before (though I think they improved the article) but I don't think it was wise to remove as many were removed. Hopefully they can be replaced. (Hint, hint)
