Amiga 2000HD - VS - Atari Mega4 ST

[Calen]

The higher clockrate (8MHz vs the A500/A2000's 7.14MHz) 68000 did little to improve software performance.

Indeed,  the sound chip IMO was terrible compared to the mighty Paula and that tiny bit of extra CPU time was not gonna make the difference when you started using sampled sounds, that took CPU time. The C64 even had things the ST didnt, eg: hardware scrolling .

I had an STE for a very short time, never liked it, glad i got rid of it.
 
-edit  errr oh umm be quiet Calen :-)

But software was faster on the atari grand prix was definately smoother and faster than it was on an amiga 500 .i gave my st away but it was a nice machine .

I have played both and your are right but could you run it in 60 hz mode?  that made a difference of course, the sound also was alittle better,  perhaps less samples on ST to keep frame rate up

Dang i loved that game.
