What's wrong with Strider 2 Amiga version? It's little too hard, that's all.

dlfr has a good point, it's a really awful version of the game.

Tiertex...
I just love when they reuse the exact same palette and sound fx for mercs. They must have been like the Chinese sweatshop of arcade conversions. |

Tiertex were absolutely shocking when it came to doing Amiga stuff, and I've yet to see a game by them that was written specifically using the Amigas hardware. Quote:

MegaDrive version have worse music and probably sounds too. I remember those two games from past, maybe that's why I like them.

The Tiertex hall of shame: http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?...eloper=Tiertex So many good arcade games and so many poor Amiga conversions UN Squadron was probably the best out of those for me but the SNES conversion (more of a remix) was absolute class |

Strider megadrive is using 64 colors and a 512kb cartridge.
Tiertex has no excuses ! |

btw: the Sharp X68000 Strider is awesome too, nearly a pixel-perfect arcade port. Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 07 November 2007 at 22:20. |

U.N. Squadron was TOTALLY jerky (And slowed down by just shooting) and had a lot of pretty bad graphics conversions. I believe Mercs was their only nice work, at least the one with a nice scrolling. |

U.N Squadron is shit compared with the slightly enhanced SNES port.

We should track own those tiertex ex employees and ask for rationale about all those 5h177y conversions! I really don't think is deliberate bad work rather bad tools, excessive crunch time and a "put the money first in a disposable market" attitude from Management
