I think his point is the artists preserved the Amiga's 32-colours-per-pixel possibility by overlaying sprites and BG.

DMA did an amazing job porting that game.  Reflections should be proud.  Too bad all Reflections does now is Driver.  A new hi-res 2D Shadow of the Beast game would be quite nice. 

Thanks for sharing Sunteam!

Back on topic:

The Amiga original:


The first 16 colours of this next to the PCE's sprite layer:



The second 16 colours next to the BG layer:



Too bad they didn't keep the 320 resolution, but I can understand as you can't get 320 pixels of sprites on the PCE.

DMA were really good for their first time working on the PCE.  They even used the high-res 512 modes for their logo and Roger Dean Beast artwork.

It's always a good idea to flick the sprite/background layers off at random moments, you uncover some quite interesting techniques.

I think this comment is hilarious. I do not get this explosive hatred for RegalSin. You people need to learn funny.

lol.  Yeah, you probably right.

besides the Reflections logo there's other things that I feel were done better in the pc-engine version.  I think the animation on the beast character is a lot nicer than the Amiga version.  There's a lot more frames of animation.  I like the look better in the Amiga version but animation wise the pc-engine has it beat.

The sound is better, and the gameplay itself is better.

The amiga controls suffer, and there's an annoying pause when you go to fight stuff.

The Amiga one still has the best art/atmosphere.
