Japanese Ultima Underworld - Dan - 3:40:53 PM EST

This is one news post I didn't expect to ever be making. Today (well, yesterday actually, details...) I learned that there was a Japanese version of Underworld 1 released for the original playstation years ago. TheOutrider was kind enough to provide some screenshots and information in this thread

the framerate and resolution are very nice

the controls aren't

there's an FMV intro, high-quality music and some nice sound effects, including echoing footsteps in large rooms

the enemies have been replaced with rather ugly polygon renditions

Other than that, the game itself seems to be exactly the same. Except for the fact that everything's in Japanese.

I've brightened some of the shots for your viewing pleasure. You can find the originals as well as some commentary in the thread linked to above. Thanks again, TheOutrider!
