Catacomb

Australian version

The Australian release sponsored by Verbatim was altered to include numerous additional messages throughout the levels, advertising the quality of Verbatim diskettes.

Plot change

Apart from extending the game with five additional levels over the DOS version, the Apple II and IIGS ports also completely change the story, although they star the same main character, Petton Everhail. In the DOS version, the catacombs are located underneath Kieralon Palace, built by the Kieralon Empire that fell over two centuries earlier. Patton is approached by Terexin, former High Wizard of the Kieralon, and asked to recover his magic scrolls and treasure. In the Apple versions, on the other hand, it's refugees from Mount Kel-Keriad in the north that ask Petton to enter the catacombs. They have been attacked by Shadrani forces, and ask for help in reclaiming their home. This time, the catacombs are described to be located inside the mountain, and the treasure Patton collects belongs to the invaders.
