Sorry, I didn't know this 8-bit game came out on Amiga.

Yes
The Amiga Joker review (http://amr.abime.net/issue_2949_pages page 32) mentions that the graphics are 'okay', but the controls really suck badly

Yes, since they are just listing every crappy thing that was ever made for the ST.

Some ST games may look and sound like from Amstrad CPC (Hardcore, Photon Storm, Grid Runner) - they're still good games but not in 16-bit standards.

Are most of these PD games? I'd imagine some of them are pretty good fun to play.

Apparently not a preview. The game is mentioned at loriciels.net:
http://www.loriciel.net/fiche.php?id=102
and they had a link to this (French) page:
http://m520.free.fr/Chez/index.php


I had a quick look and in the "La contreverse Massacre" part, the page's author says that the game can be finished very quickly.

The authors of the game apparently wanted to more or less pay tribute to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Purloined Letter". Therefore they made the design choice that the game can be finished almost when you start it since the end of the game can be accessed from the second screen.

Of course, the players were expected to find the solution only after exploring the whole game and getting all the clues and then coming back to the beginning.


Apparently, there is a full remake playable in a browser (in French though, although I guess you can use it directly using Google translator or Babel Fish since the remake is html/php based):

Thank you for link with games by Loriciel. I thought it's preview because there is no music or single sound effect and game have weird "intro".

AGI Quest I and the other fan-made AGI games listed here should be able to be run on the Amiga as well. It should be possible by using the Amiga AGI interpreter and the AGI Quest I game files.

I have tried to run fan-made AGI games on the Amiga but haven't figured out how to - but it should be able to be done.

What about sound in AGI Quest games? I think it's generated on ST but will it work on Amiga?

The sound in AGI games is generated on the Amiga as well.

Atari ST have 3 shitty conversions: Venus the Flytrap, Z-Out, X-Out. Never try these games.
