Game Description:
Journey to Silius is an action platformer game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
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.
