One thing that a lot of die hard ST users say is, the STE had much better hardware than the ST and they didn't use it properly, or it was a lazy rushed port. All that stuff being completely irrelevant, history has already been played out, all the excuses after the fact doesn't change anything. The ST was an OK machine, was never great, it filled a nice gap in the market for being affordable.

There will never be a game like Elf Mania or Lionheart on the ST, even with all the time in the world. Hypotheticals are all very fine but in the end that's all they are. I love the ST, it was my first 16-bit computer, but I realise the machines limits. Can't we just say the ST was a fine machine but will forever live in the Shadow of the Amiga.

Shadow Of The Amiga - Possible game title? Haha!
