Kyrandia CD vs Disk versions

exofreeze · Post by **exofreeze** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 1:01 am

Anyone aware if there are any differences between the disk and cd versions of Kyrandia 1 and 2? I know the 3rd game on cd was talkie... I don't know if there was actually a disk version of 3 or not...

Anyways, Ive got the disk versions currently but I'm interested in picking up the cd versions if there is a difference.

I don't have the floppy versions myself, but the CD versions of Kyrandia 1 and 2 have speech. I assume that's a difference.

The floppy version of kyra2 has also speech in the intro, but NOT in the real game. AFAIK.

There was no floppy version of Kyrandia 3.

Any progress on Kyra2 implementation, this game is so great?

There haven't been any Kyrandia 2-related changes in SVN for quite some time now, so I guess not.

geez, I could pretend to do work on it, then get told all my work is rubbish which would probably provoke some other dev to make it better

just don't forget to credit me for "stimulating the development process" afterwards

Not a bad idea! Maybe if I pretend to work on HE 16bit support...

I've gotten some REing work done, but it's slow going these days (eight hours of c++ coding at work each day doesn't leave that much motivation to continue when I get home

).

The non-talkie version is better. The voice acting in the CD version is so unbelievably bad, it actually detracts from the overall experience. Just my opinion.

The CD version has fixed a 'bug' in the grotto layout, so it would be better to buy the CD version and just disable the voices, if you think they are acted badly.

Also the CD version contains an extra music track. (at least for AdLib)

The Floppy version has some different dialogs though, like in the Speech of the Land scene (that's all I remember atm...). Also the credits of the Floppy version should look nicer than of the CD version, since it uses two different fonts (or at least it should)
