 The Amiga version of Silkworm is good but the
graphics are all in low res and the game play is not
true to the original. Also, where the Amiga version
ends, the arcade game goes on for quite some
time....friends have played it for 6 levels past the
end of the Amiga version and never saw the same
level. The Amiga version is just not the same for me
and, thus, I am somewhat displeased with it.
  Bloodmoney, I never really played that one too
much...after I got the trained version it was not
worth it. But Shadow of the Beast! I could almost
get out of the first dungeon and know people that
could get out of that dungeon and into the castle
without using the trainer.
  I bought the auto-fire joystick to kill the final
challenge monster....I was able to reach him without
it but was not able to kill the thing without that
much extra help. As far as I know, there is no
arcade conversion of Xenon II out (at least the
video arcade that I work in has heard nothing of
it).
