Hi,
   I find that most Amiga games are INFERIOR to many which appeared on the 64,
not just in gameplay terms but GRAPHICS also. This is because almost all 64
games ran at 50/60 Hz and were hence arcade smooth but very few Amiga games
do. The graphics may look fine when viewed in a magazine but are usually very
jerky when 'on the move' - this spoils the otherwise promising gameplay which
the game may have had.
   Also, while the sound on the Amiga is technically superior to the 64's,
most of the music tends to use the same old Soundtracker voices, hence giving
a 'samey' feel to the music. The 64 had some great composers working on it
(Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway), where are they now???

   I hope I am not sounding too fussy, but I hope that games writers
utilise the hardware features of the Amiga more.
