Crusader of Centy (Soleil) [Beta – Genesis / Mega Drive]

Crusader of Centy (AKA Soleil in Europe/Ragnacenty in Japan) is an action rpg developed by Nextech and published by SEGA in 1994. A beta build of the game with many layout and objects placement differences is freely available on the internet. We don’t know exactly when it was released, because it’s a very old dump.  Let’s have a quick look at some of the changes made:

This is the first scene of game. We can immediately see the different HUD and the absence on the drawer of both the sword and the buckler.  In the beta the former is already in hero’s possession, while the latter is nowhere to be found. The small kid’s hair became red.
