The Amiga one still has the best art/atmosphere.

The Amiga version was the original, and took advantage of the Amiga sound. It was one of the best music to be created for a videogame for those Amigaers.

What shot the Amiga was the lack of usage in the USA, where the IBM took over, and the Apple already over took the imagery market. Man I love the Amiga.

The Amiga sound is 4 shitty sampled channels with hard panning.  The PCE CD version of the music destroys the f*ck out of the Amiga one. :)

It's great for an Amiga soundtrack at least.  Probably the best actually.  I can't think of much on Amiga that did better.

I'm going to read Valis by Philip K. Dick. I don't think I'm ever going to read the werewolf novel by Margaret Carter, but, sadly, I would absolutely love to read a novel based on RI's Shadow of the Beast universe.

The Amiga version was the original and without it's success,
nobody would have seen the PCE version  [-X

   You are so needlessly harsh on All Things Amiga, and you know you are simply being contrarian. The Amiga soundtrack for SotB is very nice, indeed. In fact, the entire soundscape (SFX, ambient noise, tunes) are very competently done.

Ill stop there, lest I dignify your other cavalier remarks regarding Amiga soundtracks. 

  Of course, I like the C64 SotB tunes, too.

So?  That's like saying "without Breakout, we wouldn't have Arkanoid".  True, but Breakout still looks like shit in comparison.

and, Esteban, I like the Amiga one, but there's no denying the PCE CD's destruction.  The drums alone are like whoa damn!

I liked the C64 tunes too.   That version of the game somehow managed to not suck huge wang.

I do wish shadow of the beast on the pc-engine cd kept the backgrounds the same in the tree house level and the castle.  I wonder why they changed it?  Wasn't Shadow of the Beast the exact same version as the pc-e on the Marty?

Sunteam are there any other little graphic things that you could compare in pc-e Beast to the amiga version?

the funny thing is, that EVERY beast version looks so different. hell, even the japanese MD and western MD version are like two different games.

btw, heres nice comparison of "all" the beast games on different plat forms:
www.pcedaisakusen.net
the home of your individual PC Engine collection!!
PCE Games coundown: 690/737 (47 to go or 93.6% clear)
PCE Shmups countdown: 111/111 (all clear!!)
Sega does what Nintendon't, but only NEC does better than both together!^^

Haha well it was published by EA in the states.  Not sure if they did the port though.

So what are the differences that make the US Genesis version worse than the Mega Drive version???
