The ROM you played was most likely some sort of fan translation of the original Japanese version of the game. The US version had a lot of stuff removed and/or censored and the translation wasn't that good. That ROM, from what you describe, has not been so altered.
Anyway, the PS1 version is basically the original unaltered Japanese version only with a quality translation. They didn't add things TO the game, they just didn't remove stuff like they did with that original version.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
