Looking forward to playing this on my Atari Jaguar. It sure looks more like the ST version to me: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would make sense to port the game again from a different platform unless the Amiga version is somehow vastly superior.

I really do wonder though if it actually will be the Amiga version in the end as funstock are usually very accurate and i have used them in the past with no issue, either way though i should have the game next week so ill find out soon enough 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is the background missing the color gradients of the Amiga version, it also shows the same flip screen scrolling of the ST version, while the Amiga has smooth scrolling.

I will do. I'm looking forward to it arriving. I think its going to be quite a difficult game to complete from what I've seen in reviews so i should get my moneys worth on this one.

Sapicco Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The scrolling on the amiga version looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I thought this was about Switchblade (which I have) and did a double take today and realized it's the second game....stealth release indeed. Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
