KKnD2: How Many versions Exist? what are the Differences?

[MapDesigner]

Hello everyone. 

I remember I once have played PS1 version of this game. apparently there are many differences. 

 to summerise the differences I am aware of so far, 

1. Campaign selection menu looks different in PC and PS1 version
2. Campaign missions are not in the same order in both version; for instance, the PS1 evolved mission 5 is actually mission 1 in the PC version. Also, in the PS1 it has max 2 upgrades while while the PC version it has only 1 max upgrade
3. PC has 5 upgrades while PS1 has only 4 upgrades
4. in the PS1 version, only 2 buildings of the same type are allowed. a player cannot build more than 2 power stations, 2 machine shops, or solar collectors. same applies to all other buildings.
5. some buildings do not exist in PS1 version including: Armoury, Repair bay thermal exchanger,, lazer destroyer tower, force wall, Barricade and all their equivalents. only the PC version has them
6. In PS1 version, tower are available when the outpost in upgraded. in the PC version, the armoury has that function.
7. both versions have number of towers limited to 4.
8.  There may well be more differences.

Here is a video on how the campaign map looks like in PS1 version

are there more differences? also, how many PC versions exist? Becuz I recall I once played PC version which is very similar to the PS1 with only 4 upgrades and no new buildings. are these changes recent?

I believe you're confusing KKND 1 & 2.
The PSX version was the same IMO.

???

 

I never played kknd1

 

Also im pretty sure that they both have same exact graphics. There must have been an update.

if your still in doubt, watch these 2 vids and you see how the map looks a lot different, but the game is still the same.

The reason why I said I didn't care or was "too lazy" to check is that proving these facts changes nothing and produces no useful results of any kind. 
It's a waste of time unless having a pointless conversation is your idea of having a good time.

Having played/witnessed both games there is a clear difference. I sometimes think about picking them up again, they were good games.

Imo 1>2

hmmmm

I think that too sometimes

it seems to me that PS version is better and simpler in some aspects.  For e.g. upgrading power plant gives 50 more RU in PS1 as far as I recall, but in PC version, it gives 20 more RU only (so 1 upgrade in PS1 give 450 in PC gives 420 RU per load). it seems the PS1 version is better thought in this case.

Nono. I meant KKnD1 > KKnD2 (either ps or pc version) 

The first game. Created by the original team.

Is it just 2 games or there are more versions?
