I believe that the SubLogic people do everything via the 68000, and ignore
any other hardware features. (For instance, they do not use the blitter on 
the Amiga.) This probably makes it easier for them to port it to all 
the 68000 machines, and this is probably why the user interface that comes 
with the Amiga and Atari versions are similar and does not follow the 
machine's own user-interface standards. 

(I'm not sure if this is correct at all, but this is what I heard from someone
 who was not sure himself...)
