[QUOTE="rehtroboi40, post: 280428, member: 1406"] Interesting that you would use as an example a game that was also censored. Jungle King became Jungle Hunt after Taito was sued for the use of Tarzan's likeliness and roar. They replaced him with a more generic-looking safari explorer. You've got to love that his safari hat looks more like a bicycle helmet! Remember the hoopla over the SNES version of the first Mortal Kombat? Lots of sweat in that one! Nintendo made Acclaim clean up the blood and change "finishing moves". How ironic that in cleaning it up, they defacated all over it! I can understand why Zen wants to toe-the-line, since they don't want to deal with the ESRB again. That's what makes their Williams tables more of a double-edged sword than they have to be. I'm no fan of censorship (understandable if copyright infringement is involved though), but I'm still enjoying these old tables in a new environment in PFX3. I've also noticed they've "censored" the horizontal seams that FarSight had in some tables in TPA. (Ok, that was sarcasm!) [/QUOTE]
