Actually speaking of Beneath A Steel Sky, that's a game style that often will take advantage of a faster cpu. I remember playing Monkey Island on a stock a500 after being used to it on an a1200 with fast ram and the difference is quite noticable. Another game I noticed speeds up with a faster cpu is the original Street Fighter 2 port by US Gold. It's not any smoother unfortunately though, just faster.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Sure, but it couldve made things move more fluidly, which is the bigger problem with the U.S. gold version. It has the big sprites and most of, if not all frames of animation, it's just that they dont move too well, especially when jumping. I think maybe some of the frames arent centred either, which plays some part in the weird look to the movement.

I know it's off topic, but I've always wanted a good version of SF2 for Amiga. SSF2 plays quite well, but surely the amiga is capable of something that looks a little closer. SSF2Turbo looks very nice, but lacks a bunch of animation to a point that it changes the gameplay (street fighter fan will understand that the timing is quite important). If it's any indication though a fairly accurate version would be possible, although would probably require 2 meg chip + a little fast ram to do something like a 3do/saturn/etc quality port.

It's been something Ive wanted to remake for a long time, and even have started a few attempts, but the sheer volume of gfx is discouraging after a while, especially seeing as I can already play it on my ps2/xb360/etc.
