The maddest one is the comparison between the two versions of Barbarian. Hope you all enjoy...
It's a very good comparison, though.
At the time I had a PC (or, well, used the pc of my parents)
which was a whopping 386 with VGA, but games back then rarely took advantage of that hardware. One was lucky if EGA was supported
And sound cards were out of the question before 1994.

I am really impressed with the iPhone.  I made a few apps and it's just too easy to do.  The iPhone provides a standard base, you know what is there and can use it,  It the Amiga ever entered the 21st Century it would be an iPhone...
Maybe, but it has nothing to do with this thread.

How about comparing iPhone and Amiga games?  
For as far as I understand it, it's about the comparison of vintage games on pc versus Amiga
so no Iphone involved :-)

I guess I fail to see the point in comparing games that are so horribly out of date.  I mean this isn't 1989, it's 2009, what's the point?
Games are games, and cannot be horribly out of date.
Thereby, old computers have this 'soul'; the soul of people who put effort in writing software for these machines, the effort in building these machines. I just love the scent of an old computer in home, kinda comparable with old books.
