Besides the graphics and environmental effects added, the MIDI-based music sounds a lot better on that sound chip, giving the bass extra oomph. See for yourself~CVX68k (jeez, even its full acronym is annoying) is fucking bawesome; I felt that it was the best Classicvania (tied with Rondo of Blood). Just like the first game, X68 strikes that chord of matching its gameplay with level design and enemy behaviors to provide a well-crafted challenge. But I have to get ridiculously anal and say that X68 is not a port of CV1 (despite having CV1's first stage). It's more of a retelling of CV1, much like Super CV4.
