I see. I agree that the Sierra games lack that extra polish that LucasFilm/Arts games generally had, and that they ran spectacularly well on any platform. The Lucas games seemed to be very optimized for each platform, while the Sierra games felt like they relied on sheer power to run well. Which would explain why AGI games are fast, SCI0 games were slower, while the VGA games just ran horribel. They didn't seem to care to optimize the game for the Amiga. I just don't think the games were really suffering much until the VGA games came out, but I guess that's in the eye of the beholder.

And I have to admit, I was a much bigger fan of LucasFilm/Arts back then, and I still am a bigger fan. But that didn't stop me from absolutely loving some of Sierra's games, like Police Quest 1 and 2, LSL1-3 and a couple of others.
