He probably means like Goblins 3 had some different assets and dialogue. The NA floppy version had a completely different title screen (checkerboard background similar to the box cover with a brawler goblin from level 2) and dialogue than the European version which had a bunch of credits and an image of Wolfie in a circle like the CD version (kind of like Gobliins 2's logo) and completely different dialogue (probably translated from French differently). Actually, some of the text I was always confused about in the NA version made more sense in the European version's translation.
I'm afraid I have only played one floppy version of Lost in Time, though. So I don't know. I'm very intrigued to find out, though.
Yeah, those kind of more subtle differences are the ones I'm looking for! I hate that feeling when booting up an old game and somewhere along the line feeling "wait, this isn't how I remember it." It is like listening to an album version of a song where you would expect the radio edit. I will try and track down all versions of Lost in Time I guess to try and compare.
Also... I never knew that about Goblins 3. Thanks MI, another slew of versions of games no one but us cares about I have to track down!
By the way, I uncovered the pirate from my dusty collection where this game is on! So I still have the version of LiT I used to play. By the time I got this, I already had many of these games in other forms, but still, for 1 CD, it was a good collection back in the day. It was called "Oh no more games 03", I looked it up, it was distributed by some specifically Dutch pirate. Many of the games were hacked and cracked to annull the copy protection, but for example, the Colonel's Bequest contained a "Word Perfect" file with the fingerprints.
