This

This
version works only if you have the 'decompression mpeg add on module'
connected to the CD-i system. The video quality is MPEG1 and it's the

The
first dvd release of the game. Quality picture is beautifull. The
video footage can be used with Daphne emulator to revive the near perfect
arcade experience. The in-game moves are not totally arcade acurate. Readysoft became Digital Leisures Inc
by the way. |

This
version has a real great visual quality, but the gameplay is a shame.
Before each moves choice, the movie pause during one second to let you
choice rhe right action... unplayable but it include a watch mode that
allows you to see the full game video, without any pause this time. |
