Many years ago a game called Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders was released on the PC. Here is a screenshot of the PC version of the game:
A 256 colour version was released on the FM Towns machine for the Japanese market:
As well as better graphics, the game also had all the characters with anime style eyes:
However, I have come across screenshots and videos of an English version of the FM Towns game (without the anime eyes). For example:

It turns out that both versions of the game are part of the same FM Towns release. When you launch the game you are given a choice of whether to play in English or Japanese.

I assume that the GOG release is based on the English language version of this FM Towns release.
