Proto:Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance (NES)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance (NES).

  This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

A localization prototype of the NES Pool of Radiance was found, dumped, and released by the Nolan Brothers to Hidden Palace on December 26, 2024.

Similar to the Hillsfar prototype, most of the differences involve the text. At this point, the script appears to have been directly translated from the Japanese version and has not yet been altered to comply with Nintendo of America's content policies.

Pre-Generated Characters

The pre-generated characters have been changed and are now fully-leveled with very powerful equipment. It's possible these characters were created for the US localization team for easier playtesting.

• Gwydion, besides being fully leveled and powerfully equipped, was kept pretty much the same.
• Felgar was changed from a Half-Elf Fighter/Mage/Cleric, a multi-class not normally available in the NES version, to a Human Cleric.
• Goldleaf was changed from an Elf Fighter/Mage/Thief to a Human Mage.

Text Differences

To do: Document all text differences between prototype and final.

The prototype appears to be a direct translation of the Japanese Famicom version. Primarily, the references to religion and words related to death have been changed in the final. For example, the word "kill" was changed to "slay", "die" became "expired", "chapel" and "temple" were changed to "shrine", and "priests" are called "clerics". There were also references to blood in the prototype that were completely stripped from the NES version.

Another interesting change is the word "evil" being changed to "wicked". This is interesting due to some of the character alignments having "evil" in them (Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, and Chaotic Evil), in which the alignment names were kept in the final.

General Differences

• During an encounter, the option to "parlay" was changed to "parley".
• During combat, the target is now just a thicker version of the main cursor.
• There is a glitch which sometimes prevents a player to use projectile weapons, but it's currently unknown how the glitch works, as it seems to be at random.

Proto	Final
You encounter bloodthirsty	You encounter malevolent

For the random encounters, in which the enemy's name appears after the text. (You encounter bloodthirsty/malevolent kobolds.")

New Phlan

• The Arms and Armor clerk was originally called Armorer.
• The Shopkeeper was originally called General Items clerk.
• The Priests found at the various shrines (originally temples) are now Clerics.
• The shrines/temples originally had the spell Raise Dead, which was later titled Raise the Perished.
  • The Stone to Flesh spell originally cost 2000GP, as opposed to the 20000GP in the final.

Proto	Final
The boatman approaches... Boatman: The boarding fee is 5GP.	The boatman approaches and says: The boarding fee is 5GP.

The text for when you go to the docks to board a boat was changed slightly.

Proto	Final
Temple Guard: Bishop Braccio is very busy.	Shrine Guard: Braccio is very busy.

When you try to meet Braccio before the council commissions you to, a guard will halt you from entering his quarters.

Proto	Final
Dirten: How do you do? I'm a priest of Tyr. There is a temple of Bane the Demon across the river. It was our temple before they stole it from us... I want to get our temple back from the monsters. Will you help me? There is a secret treasure in the temple. It is yours if you succeed.	Dirten: How do you do? I'm a cleric of Tyr. There is a shrine of Bane across the river. It was ours before they stole it from us... I want to get our shrine back from the monsters. Will you help me? There is a secret treasure in the shrine. It is yours if you succeed.

The text for when you meet Braccio's cleric Dirten was changed quite a bit, including referring to Bane as a demon.

Proto	Final
Priest: You are the villains who attacked the city guard. I'll punish you in the name of our God.	Cleric: You are the villains who attacked the city guard. You must pay!

When you kill the City Watch of New Phlan and go to the temple of Sune, a group of clerics ambush the party. The text for this battle was significantly changed in the final.

Proto	Final
Priest: Wait. Leave that poor man here. We will treat him. Mad Man: ...	Cleric: Wait. Leave that poor mad man here. We will treat him. The mad man babbles

Proto	Final
The shopkeeper offers jewelry for sale: Can I show you something?	Jeweler: I have many beautiful pieces. May I show you something?

The text for the jeweler's shop was changed from a third-person perspective to a first-person perspective, fitting with the rest of the shop clerks.

Proto	Final
This is an entrance to the Slum. The guards are watching you.	This is an entrance to the Slums. The guards are watching you.

Due to the transliteration of the Slums in Japanese (スラム, Suramu), the word was incorrectly spelled in the prototype.

Proto	Final
The city guards comes in: The guard: Move along here!	The city guards come in: Move along here!

When the party causes trouble (mainly a fight in the taverns), the city watch responds. The text was slightly altered.

Proto	Final
We can do nothing for you, evil one!	We can do nothing for you, wicked one!

When the party kills the city guard, this causes most (but not all) the people of Phlan to refuse service to the party. This can be fixed by the party simply by completing a mission and getting rewarded from the city council.

Proto	Final
The Man: Welcome. I'm Rolf. I'll be your guide around Phlan. Please follow me.	Man: Welcome. I'm Rolf. I'll be your guide around Phlan. Please follow me.

Sorry, Rolf. You're no longer "The Man", you're just... "Man".

Proto	Final
This is the Temple of Tyr... We have three temples in the city. One for Tyr, one for Sune, and one for Tempus. Bishop Braccio is in the temple of Tyr.	This is the Shrine of Tyr... We have three shrines in the city. One for Tyr, one for Sune, and one for Tempus. Braccio is in the Shrine of Tyr.

The very first line in the game that was censored; Temples were changed to Shrines in the final, and Bishop Braccio had his title stripped.

Proto	Final
This is the temple of Sune on your right. On your left is the City Park.	This is the Shrine of Tempus on your right. On your left is the City Park.

The locations for the templs/shrine of Sune and Tempus appear to have been swapped in the final.

Tavern Text

Proto	Final
* Greco of the Arms Shop works 24 hours a day, but if you enter through the back door, he deals with you.	* of the Arms Shop works 24 hours a day, but if you enter through the back door, he will deal with you.

For some reason, the Famicom version gave one of the arms dealers in New Phlan the name Greco. This was omitted from the North American release, and isn't even mentioned in the computer versions. It was probably cut from the final version because of this; it is unlikely Nintendo would have requested the name to be removed.

Proto	Final
* Zhentil Keep is like a sovereign nation... Unless we are careful it will make war with Phlan.	* Zhentil Keep is like a sovereign nation... Unless we are careful it will decl are waron Phlan.

Note the typo in the final release, which should read "declare war on Phlan."

Proto	Final
* A dreadful monster is living in the Slum... It is too much for a beginner Hero.	* A dreadful monster is living in the Slums... It is too much for a beginner hero.

A typo here; "Slum". This is due to the original Japanese text being "Suramu" (スラム).

They can only be killed by magical weapons.	* Some monsters can never be slain without silver or magic arms. * Well, I know some monsters silver weapons can't harm... They can only be slain by magical weapons.

Some Engrish here. It should read "Well, I know for some monsters, silver weapons can't kill them..."

Proto	Final
* Some swords have souls... Ones who don't match their Alignment can't use the weapons.	* Some swords have spirits... Ones who don't match their alignments can't use the weapons.

Proto	Final
Suddenly a drunken brawl erupts. You are in the middle of the fight.	Suddenly a brawl erupts. You are in the middle of the fight.

The random fights in the tavern were originally "drunken" brawls. The word was dropped most likely at Nintendo's request.

Training Hall

The prototype has this curious string of text, spoken by the trainer:

I think that it's err in GEN!

which was removed from the final.

When choosing to fight a duel, the speaker is credited to "Information" in the prototype, as well as a reference to death. This was changed to the clerk speaking, and the training hall trying not to "harm" adventurers in a duel.

Proto	Final
Information: Do you know the rules of dueling? Information: A duel is fought between evenly-matched heroes. When you knock your opponent to 0 HP, you win. We try not to kill opponents...
