Look at the number of objects on-screen. Loot at the speed (fps) with which all is processed... Tell me that AGA can replicate that, exactly as it is shown there? I doubt it.

Ah yes, when I talk about dual layer I always exclude the sprite layer because I find it confuses some people. But yeah, the PC-Engine does have two layers if you count sprites - but by that definition the Amiga/MD have three and the SNES can have as many as five
No, I hadn't heard of that one yet. Lately been itching to play Blazing Lazers again and the brilliant versions of Salamander & R-Type though... Looks good, I'll check it out!

Yeah, like I said - the PC-Engine is a very capable system. It's super sad that it wasn't more popular worldwide (didn't even get a real European release).

Didn't Wrath of the Demon do that style on the Amiga?
