Don't forget this is late eighties when certainly in the UK the Atari ST
was selling more games. I remember quite often seeing a game advert then
reading through what platforms it was for, CBM 64, Spectrum, Amstrad,
Atart ST...... and being disappointed that there was no mention of an
Amiga version. I think this changed around 1990 when the Amiga became the
machine that "everybody" wanted.
And maybe it also made some kind of sense getting an Atari version
working, so the 68000 code was up and running, and then you could in
theory (didn't seem to happen!) enhance things for the Amiga custom chips.
Of course it would have suited us better if a version had been designed
all around the Amiga hardware. :)
Anybody got ST emulation sorted on their mig?
All the best,
