i can only say: The Lost World and Pumpkin Adventure III
both are excellent games and the graphics are very similar. the problem is that the person responsible for graphics sucks in drawing human faces.
Human faces are a drag to draw on MSX, although some have succeed quite nicely. John Robin smith for one did come close. Peter (umax) does/did a great job however!
I quess both dudes were one of the best (dutch) amateur GFX artists on MSX. Well, I myself did some okay GFX too if I might add. But things like human faces or any still life was not my thing to draw.
I haven't seen Realms of Adventure yet, bet they 'ave some nice gfx too.
Well, I dunno if you can call it 'aborted' for sure .. what I know is that the 'team' that was formed this summer, isn't doing the game anymore .. I dunno exactly what happens with the code/gfx/story etc. Maybe the game does see daylight, someday..
