How much faster though? I read somewhere the CD32 is 5 times faster than than the Amiga 500. If they rendered in dual playfield with less bitplanes in teh foreground they could have maybe made a good fist of it.

Go easy man, the CD32 is great! I don't know much about programming but it could probably stream data in from the CD while the game is playing. You could probably use that to make some amazing things, like pre-rendered 3D backgrounds etc
