Hack description

The U.S. release of Journey to Silius features a different set of sprites for protagonist Jay McCray. One may wonder, though: Why would a person who's battling machines by himself in a war-torn world be doing it in a spacesuit without any sort of head protection? It might be a video game, but the graphics still stick out like a sore thumb.

This patch reverts these sprites to the ones used in the game's releases throughout the rest of the world, in which the character dons a set of armor to take on his foes. They might not be as distinct, but they fit the tone and atmosphere of the game better. They also match the games's concept artwork.

Original Sprites works as intended	Kallisto	2022-01-17	Version 1.0
I never encountered any bugs with this modification, so it is safe to apply this romhack! These sprites were definitely better than the original English version ended up with. Interesting thing to note about the other sprites in this game, but it is clear with a good eye that a lot of enemy sprites seem like modifications from the original lost prototype called The Terminator and especially toward the very end. Tis a shame that prototype has not been found yet for comparison!
