The heroes' hit-detection has worsened, and they now receive damage for attacks that sometimes don't come close. Like all PAL versions of games up to this point, it plays painfully slow. There's some different enemy placement that makes the game unbalanced-sometimes more difficult and sometimes easier.
This also affects the Medusa Heads and some background and foreground structures, like the steel walls and chains of Stage 4 - 5.
There are other differences when dealing with the European version of this game: It features some different palette colors, specifically for zombies. For instance: Blood doesn't drip down from the platforms on the first stage, and Eric Lecarde doesn't impale himself with the spear when he dies. The European version is bereft of blood due to some morality law. And the password screen doesn't show after a stage is completed rather, it only appears when your character runs out of lives. Morris is called "Johnny" instead of just John.

The character Countess Elizabeth Bartley was probably named and based on the real-life Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian Countess in the 16th century. There was a bug in the game that occurred on level 6-2 that sometimes caused the game to crash! It seems to be a fault of the original game code.
