Early Localization Screenshot#

A screenshot on the back of the US and European box shows the casino with its graphics from the Japanese version, suggesting that they were changed late in development. The Roulette table and the border of the exit in the upper-right corner look to have different coloration, but this could be due to the quality of the image.

US/Europe Box

US/Europe Final

The text is different as well:

Prerelease

Final

IT LOOKS LIKE A CASINO.
THERE'S NOBODY IN IT AND
IT'S QUIET.

YOU'RE IN A CASINO. THERE
IS NOBODY AROUND.

The early description is closer to the Japanese text. The April 28, 1990 localization prototype uses wording closer to the final version, so this image may predate that build.
