With the benefit of emulation it's now pretty easy to compare these old 16bit systems.  What's surprising is how similar many ST versions of games are to Amiga.  Of course OS junkies will say Amiga OS is better, but for the rest of us many games aren't that different.

me thinks somebody hasn't seen Shadow of the Beast on ST :afro:

or Great Giana sisters ... A platform game with no scrolling ! :laughing: even c64 does a better job !

It's really a peaceful experience to browse and post in Atariforums. Non of the  hatemongering that is so prevalent in Amiga forums, whichever one you look.

And, they get things done. They have their "Natami" (the "Coldari") already built, and OS and other stuff running on it, they have Memory Protection in MinT since the 90ies, etc etc etc... When the Coldari got announced, lots of coders of famous Atari-software of old started porting their stuff (like Papyrus, GFA Basic etc) to the new platform, simply because they love it.

On the Amiga, when the platform died in the middle 90ies, almost everybody went to something more profitable and didn't look back ever.

 
Plus, the Atari scene is not fractured into tiny pieces like the Amiga scene is...

What is it worth to be more people around, when in reality, you are just a much more tiny fraction among many, infighting with some other dweebs about who has the right answer to which Amiga system is the right one to have?


Amiga dweebs could learn a lot from Atari fans these days.

And yet they still don't have a filesystem solution for easy transfer between Atari-PC. The only solution cost some ridiculous 50 euro something.

And they don't have a central file repository like aminet. If you want something you have to search the net and find the thing you want among various cracked/patched/outdated versions ... :(

speaking about infighting, what do you have to say about this whole ppera vs dbug thing ?
