* PolishedPort: The NES port was much improved in many areas over the Macintosh original, adding more color to its monochrome graphics, along with better dialogue, and ditching many of the more frustrating aspects of the original. The subsequent UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor port polished things even further, mostly by improving the artwork and fixing a couple of glitches from the NES version.

It also turned the otherwise-useless "Speak" action into a hint to get past the troll the second time; when you try speaking to him he replies "verschwinden sie", which contextually means "go away", the same same thing that he says in English, but can also be read as "disappear", cluing you in that you're supposed to use the Humana spell.

* TakeThatScrappy: One can only assume enough Kickstarter backers/play testers begged for a way to shut up Yorick that the remake's developers allowed you to do just that: If you give him a good smack when he mouths off, he'll stay quiet for the rest of the game.

* UncannyValley: ''64 really'' suffers from the Nintendo 64's lack of polygon-pushing abilities. Every human just looks... odd.

* {{Macekre}}: The Japanese localization is infamous in Japan due to how generic and cheesy the narration and dialogue became. It also forgot to include a few important characters such as Lakmir.

Misuse; these aren't Unwinnable By Insanity at all. These are Press X To Die more than anything, since they don't involve purposely performing a series of arcane or bizarre actions to render yourself completely stuck while still having some degree of control. Furthermore, these are obvious failure conditions.

** It's possible to use your sword, spear, and axe on yourself. Doing so will instantly kill you.
** Using your torch on yourself will kill you, but it takes ''three tries''. You actually have to be trying, since the game warns you the first two times of the damage you've done to yourself.
** You can use your torches on an underground lake, which will instantly put them out. When your torches go out, you die.
