Amiga Forgotten Worlds.... good/bad/other ?
« on: November 23, 2010, 07:19:25 PM »
I guess the topic pretty much covers it.
Was very well received in most video game magazines of the time. Graphics were pretty decent, with full screen parallax, some huge enemies and fairly creative, but those sodding controls.....
Despite lesser precision (8 directions rather than 16) the C64 version played better in my opinion. Rotation was a little too slow on the Amiga which made an awkward control system even worse. Quite a shame, as controls aside it was a pretty valiant effort at what was a monster of a coin-op.
Megadrive version played better, but I actually think the Amiga version (minus missing a few things) was more accurate. The Sega Master System version was surprisingly decent too.

In my humble opinion it's yet another case of "so close, but so far" for the Amiga.

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.
