SwordQuest: Earthworld ?-??-82

 

This is an interesting prototype for SwordQuest: Earthworld.  The game seems complete, except that the solutions for the rooms are different and the clue screen still has placeholders (clue 1, clue 2, etc.) instead of the actual location in the comic book (page and panel number).  This is exactly how the clues appear in Fireworld, but it would appear they forgot to put in the actual clues before releasing that game.  The clue screen also is also missing the rainbow colors in the background.  There also appears to be some behind the scene code changes, but it is unknown what these do.

Further examination has revealed that this prototype may be an NTSC version of the PAL release.  If so this was most likely made in order to change the clues so they did not rely on the comic book (which was not translated for overseas markets).

 

Notice how bland the clue screen is?

 

Here's the final version for comparison
