Wasn't this game released for the amiga, first and then on pc?

I just wonder why pagers, magazines, gamesites online, never mentions when a game has been released first on amiga. It's like the name "Amiga" is a dangerous one. If you mentioned this name in an game magazine it would probably fall apart and go into bankruptcy...  :-D

NB! I can remember wrong in this case...

Yes, I remembered such too. Though I was a pc user back then (too young to make my own choice about that), the mysterious machine called amiga was intriguing to me (For good reason :-D), and I pitied such attitude.

Another reason could be that a lot of these "journalists" are too young to know (and/or learn) what an Amiga was.

The quality of a game today is measured in the DirectX pixelshader version plus FPS. The dark ages were when the typical harddisk was "only" one gigabyte.

People born in the 1990s (heck, 1980s even) are capable of walking upright and writing already? God, I'm old... :P
