Famicom version has four possible endings, whereas the NES version only has one. The NES version also features many audio and visual changes. Enemy characters and backgrounds are colored differently and the game's heroine, Annabelle, wears more revealing clothing in the NES version (having been changed from a v-neck dress to denim shorts and a midriff-revealing T-shirt). DPCM-coded voice samples were added, such as an announcer declaring the game's title when the player starts the game and Gordon laughing between stages. In the Japanese version, 4 different endings can be achieved by using certain operations. If played in Easy mode, Billy will save Annabelle but also comments on "something lost", the game then proceeds with a notice of playing the game in a harder mode; beat the game normally results in the usual ending; beat the game but not coming to Annabelle after rescuing her will end up in a "bad ending" in which Annabelle leaves Billy; a fourth ending can be achieved by certain operations and in this ending, Billy and Annabelle will talkin Kansai-ben. Related media Comic Archie Comics published a comic book series based on The Adventures of Bayou Billy written by Rich Margopoulos and illustrated by Amanda Conner, which lasted five bi-monthly issues dated from September 1989 to June 1990. The comic takes liberties with the plot and characterizations of the game and introduces an additional cast of supporting characters. Bayou Billy (whose full name is William Jackson West in the comic) is a bounty hunter assisted by his former military companions of Broadside, Sureshot and Tracker, as they protect the innocent from a local mob led by Giles Gordon and his two sons Rocky and Rocco (who were originally Gordon's bodyguards in the game). Annabelle Lane (who is renamed Annabel Lee) also appears in the comic as an assistant district attorney who becomes romantically involved with Billy after being rescued from Gordon's lackeys. The fourth issue reveals that Billy is a widower whose first wife was killed in an ordered hit by Gordon meant for him. Television Bayou Billy also received some amount of exposure on the Nintendo-themed animated TV series Captain N: The Game Master, where Bayou Billy appears in an episode titled "How's Bayou", voiced by Garry Chalk. Playing on the difficulty of its real world counterpart, Bayou Billy was said to be the one game even Captain N was unable to conquer
