I've been inspired lately to create some port comparison videos between the Amiga and its "rival" 16-bit consoles. The results have sometimes been surprising! I plan on publishing more of these as I get time--timing things so they line up correctly is not always easy. Here are the first few I've done.

I was expecting the SNES to be the clear winner here, but the Amiga version is more colorful in general, possibly due to this being an AGA release. The only downside is it's missing the short cutscene before the level begins.

This was a real missed opportunity for the Amiga. The soundtrack is incomplete, the charming room names are missing, and the lack of backgrounds makes the Super Nintendo version the must-play. Still, gameplay-wise, the Amiga version holds its own.
