its obvious that they would cut down fighting system since GBA is pretty weak thing to play game one
and i guess it was very performance cost to calaculate AI and vfx stuff
most interesting place in GBA so far is Rome
lot of stuff that resembles Beta Rome can be seen there
if we had possibility view the Rome from eagle height i bet that we would see lot of similarities with current files we have
from what i have seen so far, each stage resembles a stage from the original in the beginning but then has new stuff later on
but its like in GBA they scaled down all areas
like the long stairs in beta rome
you can see them in GBA scaled down like 10x times
i think it would be possible to rebuild beta rome just by looking at gba
I remember playing a shit ton of XXL gba back then
It felt so 3Dish at the time
Did an official book guide of the game exist ?
i dont think there is a book out there
but there should be guides and FAQ's out there
