: : Cool Fusion now plays like the original. Correcting it would be easy. But
: Well, AFAIK, the final terminal on Cool Fusion failed to show the
: 'Unfinished' message in the original game because of an engine limitation.
Nope not an 'engine limitation', human error. No mission type was specified for this level. It should have been set to 'Retrival'. Similar to Habe Quiddam.
: So if you're willing to fix the switches on Defend THIS! , it should be
: worth it to correct the missing text on Cool Fusion .
This was never actually corrected. Aleph One fixed the problem at the back end. Aleph One doesn't have the same limitation as the M1 engine.
In order to return this to the original look and feel we would have to deliberately break the three switch mission objective in M1A1. :(
: Furthermore, the hidden text provides a small discrepancy in the story; Leela
: wants us to retrieve the Fusion Pistol, but if we don't, she doesn't
: really care. In any of the other levels, she wants us to complete our
: objective thoroughly; she even sticks us in a death trap on Couch Fishing
: should we fail to flip the switches, if you'll recall. So why on earth
: does she let us go even if we fail our objective? After all, she seems to
: think it would be foolhardy to send us into a vacuum environment with only
: our pistols.
: All in all, it seems like fixing the text is easy and enhances the game
: experience; IMHO, it is worth it.
Good point. Great to have this debate. Perhaps others will throw in their 2 cents.
Cheers
