* BaitAndSwitch: The intro in the Steam port starts off looking like it'll have the same Engrish-laden script as the infamous Genesis port, with the "In A.D. 2101" and "War was beginning." lines intact. Once it gets to the captain saying "What happen", however, the line is turned into the grammatically correct "What happen''ed''?" half a second later and the rest of the dialog (Except for "All your base are belong to us") is also similarly fixed.
