A prototype of Selection II: Ankoku no Fuuin for the Game Boy.

Notes

• The copyright year on the title is 1992 instead of 1996.
• The file select font is different.
• In the retail version, a period has a space before it (which is incorrect). This isn’t true for the prototype.
• Various text differences.
• The header title for this prototype is “SELECTION 2” instead of “SWORD OF HOPE 2”. This is because the game was titled Selection II in Japan, so the header just wasn’t updated yet.
• The prototype makes use of placeholder “X” graphics for currently unused tiles, these were later replaced with new sprites or removed entirely in the retail version.
• Other minor and miscellaneous graphical changes
