Very lame, all still pictures of games with well known differences.

Lets see in-game and see if you still notice the differences?

Most of the Thalion title screens use Spectrum512 images, as did the later games by good ST coders.

Count the colours in the title screen of Leavin'Teramis on the ST.

We all know technically the Amiga was better, but the fact that ST games can be coded to be comparable, (those that were not ST->Amiga ports) is a testament to the ingenuity of their programmers.

As far as better, who went out of business first? I would say that would be Atari...

You would be wrong.

Commodore went out of business and filed for bankruptcy in April 1994

Atari Corporation effectively went out of business in February 1998 when it sold off it's IP and name to Hasbro.
