Just thought this was funny.
DYK - They misspelled Silvia's name in the NES port? What's really weird about that is that its made by the same company.

They're both correct ways to spell the name. Sylvia is the way more popular spelling and has famous people with that version. (Sylvia Plath)

Check out my comic, The Scientists. It's like a "Genius-centric 'Goonies' that can turn thriller at any moment".

This game is based on the Jackie Chan movie Meals on Wheels aka Spartan X. Looks like it is spelled Sylvia in the movies cast. So, they corrected it. It looks better imo too.

Sylvia must have felt her future was a little bit frightening as she was being tied up.

I wonder if the adrenaline made her mind become fast as lightning.

I wonder if they changed it because of Nissan?

They weren't "made" by the same company; Irem designed the arcade game, while Nintendo did the NES port themselves. And much like 90% of the arcade ports in the NES library, I prefer the NES version better...

My mantra, as worded by SamSpade on 06/12/12:
I don't resell to fund my collection, I don't treat this hobby like a second job, I don't care if my collection is worth ten bucks or ten thousand because I never plan on selling it. Seriously, what does the value have to do with anything if you never plan on selling? Speculation doesn't mean jack shit to me at this point, I just want to play my nes games...
