Time to look at what happened to C64 games when they are ported to a system with twice the power! That's almost double! But do they double down or fold at the title screen? Watch and see! youtu.be/xKdU9t6T3Jc

I can think of two off the top of my head the were emphatically worse on miggy but you’ll probably tell me they were in video 1 if they’re not in this one but Creatures and Tom and Jerry.

Creatures Amiga should never have been made. It is that bad.

I've not played either version, so that's a good one for next time!

Not being a C64 owner I just thought it was a dreadful game in general for years.

Maybe after three duffers in a row you weren't on top form but space pilot was quite definitely doing the chirpy be-be-be-be-beep alert before a wave appeared on screen.

The waves weren't apparent like they were in the original!

Also, I wonder, if you press 2 before starting Cybernoid, do you get music instead of sound effects or do you just end up in absolute silence?

Always been fascinated by ports of older arcade games where the c64 version is more of an approximation that creates a sort of -dogleg- version of the game then the Amiga/ST version of the same game is more like the arcade, but worse lol. About to watch the vid, but Bionic Commando jumps to mind

That's a great suggestion, the c64 version was aces and the amiga....well...
