Prince of Persia ST
Prince of Persia's Atari ST version was visually different and with terrible slowdowns. I personally like the graphic result:

Peter Putnik did a version with no slowdown that runs on the STE, with enhanced sound.

Amiga/DOS gfx may be simpler than on other platforms but I like it the best. Sometimes less is more.

I also found Prince of Persia 2 off putting for the very same reasons Btw, PC DOS version of the game is something of a technical marvel. It only takes under 400k and I used carry it on a DD floppy disk and play it wherever I could find a crappy public / school PC with access to DOS. It ran without a hitch all the way from the the modest monochrome local library 8088 machines used to index the books to all the way to the then modern VGA machines, supporting at least CGA, EGA, Hercules, MCGA, Tandy screen display standards and various sound cards, and never refused to run because of lack of memory.

But, that is also bias. I simply saw the Dos version first and that is the version I fell in love with. Luckily the Amiga version was nearly identical. |
