I think the reason that people Flame Psygnosis over companies like US
GOLD is because they've given up on US GOLD. No one this side of
sainity and/or a reviewer of games for Amiga Whirled ever pays
attention to anything US GOLD puts out. (One review at AW liked OUT
RUN which was one of the WORST ports I have ever tried to stomache)

Psygnosis, on the other hand, puts out some great games. These gripes
people have are really small when you think about it, but they are
things that hold back Lemmings from being PERFECT. Lemmings is a GREAT
game, but it isn't PERFECT. Same with some of their other stuff. When
you have something almost perfect you tend to complain more loudly
than when you have something thats awful.

I really don't understand how US GOLD stays in business with as cruddy
of ports as they put out. 

I want to see more ports by Special F/X. They did ROBOCOP 2 and I was
very happy with that.
