Unused Music

There's an unused track that doesn't play anywhere in the game. Possibly an alternate/early level complete fanfare? It may have also been intended for the "tribe extinct" screen, which uses the generic level-complete fanfare in the final version.

Training Levels Statistics

They're exactly like in the DOS version.

Semi-unused Skill

For unknown reasons, the developers had to cut some skills from the console ports of the game. Strangely, this version has all 51 skills available, but for some reason, there's one that appears to be either partially completed or partially deleted: the skier. This skill is available in the 4th polar level, but assigning it to a lemming does nothing but decrease the stock number (unlike the SNES version).

Regional Differences

Console Names

Europe	US

The European version uses the Sega Mega Drive name during the credits that appear during the opening sequence while the U.S. version uses the Sega Genesis name respectively. (Because Genesis uses one less letter compared to MegaDrive the top line of text and spacing are slightly shifted in the U.S version to accommodate the change)
