Denial

I recently released version 2.00 of the game. I chose to go from 1.50 to 2.00 because I think this update provides the most tangible upgrades in terms of features.

Revision 2.00 changes:

-If you select the same monster that was chosen previously in the book of beasts, the file doesn't reload from disk
-A higher resolution version of the map is included in the digital download file
-An image of the medallion is included in the digital download file
-Fixed bug with Civil War slideshow (D81 version)
-Fixed bug with the decompressor
-Added a "Program is Loading" screen along with a memory expansion test (minimum 32K expansion required)
-Reveal location spell now also shows the map view from overhead instead of using the line of sight point of view (when on land or inside a city)
-Reveal location spell in the dungeon functions like an automap feature where you get to see the overhead view of a grid line-based map
-Fixed bug with Void Dungeon #2 that was trying to load Cerberus as a boss minion (monster no longer exists)
-Every time a new monster row attacks, its row is now highlighted
-Reduced screen redraw "blank-flash" in various areas of the game
-35K expander provides additional graphics for: Kill Zones (dungeon), Falling in pits (dungeon), hand raised in victory (combat), floppy disk (save game & prompt for inserting another disk side), stairs up/down (dungeon), and a party image (for player management)
-A Japanese language version of the manual is now available (thanks to Uncoda)
-You can view the main menu in the Japanese language by selecting the Katakana font from the settings sub-menu
-When you open a treasure chest, if your inventory is full then the 15th item gets replaced by the new item that you find. This is to avoid situations where final boss treasures are not found--because some of these are needed to progress in, or to win the game.

I think doublesided games / or Ghislain might supply previous purchasers of the game with the new version. Send them a ping regarding the new version.
+ as a side note I've uploaded/released all of the hand-drawn dunjon maps/playthrough/hint guide for Realms of Quest V at the following link for anyone that wanted maps/tip guide.

I sent the latest version to the publisher (Double Sided Games).

However, anyone who has bought the game and contacts me directly will be sent the updated version.
