all of this was actually the motivation for me to write Mr Beanbag in fact. Everyone was waiting for the Amiga's answer to Sonic, and Zool came out and it was supposed to be all that but i wasn't all that impressed to be honest. It seemed like plenty of people wanted console-style platform games on the Amiga but nobody really quite got what made them what they are.
The Mr Nutz engine, i gather, was intended to be the basis for a version of Sonic for the Amiga, but Sega wouldn't give them the gig.
This seems like a good video series:
