If memory serves Adams Family was ported from the SNES version, which had some nice parallax backgrounds visible where the black holes are in the Amiga incarnation.  I suspect Ocean originally planned to port the parallax scrolling to the Amiga too but decided late in the day it wasn't fast enough and then didn't have time to do anything else instead.  The ST never had a chance of pulling it off (cf its dismal Shadow Of The Beast port) so detailed non-parallax backgrounds were included in the design from the start.


All I see on youtube is

Amiga = black empty space for background.
ST = has actual graphics

What a joke, and no excuse covers it. Pirating of this on Amiga at the time 100% justified.

Seems a bit harsh.  It plays very smoothly and got pretty good reviews.  If my theory is correct it's a pity they never made an AGA enhanced version with the missing parallax backgrounds.

Is there anything fun I can do with this other then play games which look worse than they do on the Amiga ? Maybe something with the OS etc.. ?


Now you can play Sundog!

I don't know if it would work on an STe, but if I had an ST sitting around I'd probably dig up the boot disks for Microware OS9 and remind myself how difficult it was to work with via a CLI.

I thought the Sweet16 Sequencer for the Atari was pretty cool back in the day. I cant remember much beyond that.
