Although eventually released, we are led to believe that there was an earlier version of Rodland on the C64 by Steve Snake, which was much different to the version that was eventually complete.
So we enter Rodland V1 into the archives, as there could be something quite interesting to see someday if this was to be tracked down.
Was it possible that the game was originally designed to feature the arcade backgrounds?… we are not sure.
Rob confirms though that there was no dramatically different version of Rodland, and no arcade backgrounds were ever planned due to the C64’s limitations. What we got was all there ever really was. So nothing on the scale of Street Fighter 2’s differences between preview and final game…
Case closed!…
