Do we have any reason to believe the Amiga version will differ significantly from the PC VGA version or the Macintosh version(effectively VGA, though possibly higher res)?


Based on the screenshots available at Lemon Amiga, they look pretty much identical to me.


Thanks, it looks like the "low-color PC" screen shots I found were actually the Amiga version.

From what I've seen of each version, I think that the PCE version certainly has the best graphics overall.

It also has the best gameplay.  Being an M&M junkie, Ive played just about every M&M for every system. 

M&M 1 and 3's best versions are the PCE ones.

The PC one is nice but something lacks in it that the PCE takes care of.  The audio mostly.  The Amiga one is disappointing.  I even fired it up again just to verify. The intro is alright, but the gameplay is clunky.  Something just isnt as streamlined as PCE.   

It does get a mouse, like the PC one... which is a definite plus, but the controller is a small price to pay for a better experience....

I wish gates to another world and Xeen were on PCE.  At least the genesis didnt dick up Gates ...

Hey, have you checked out the mobile versions of M&M?

I've had this mobile M&M (version 1.01) for my Verizon phone for a long time and, for a mobile game, it is pretty neat, IMO.

Hey Arkhan, I was debating with one of my buddies earlier about whether or not I should pick up M&M 1 for the Turbo. What's your take? Worth buying? I suppose so, since you claim it's the best version out there, but what more can you tell me to convince me to go out and buy it?

well as long as you can read Japanese, its basically a plus version of the NES one.

Visually it looks perfect, and the audio is a massive upgrade.... The layout and presentation of the game is more streamlined than the original PC one, which requires you to look up the spells with a manual, and type them in, and hope you dont hit the wrong key and crap.   You get nice menus, easy to handle combat, and like I said , visually it looks really great.

The problem I always had with the NES one is that its too dark.  No floors/ceilings.  Just blackness.  Like Wizardry.    PCE version is easier on the eyes!   The original had no mouse input either so you aren't missing out.  Its easier to use the controller than it is to hit keys to bring up the menus , etc.

oh and if you forget to hit reset/get blinky screen on power on/have power outtage, you wont lose your frigging save game like on NES.

LOXII, Falcom, release date..06/30/95. Seiken Densetsu 3, Square Soft, release date..09/30/95.

Played through LOXII, which takes about three minutes, found the SD3 shots  on one paticular site. In my opinion the best looking rpgs for each system, i didn't know which Genesis game to add, it would either be PS IV or Beyond Oasis.

Pce boss fights                                snes boss fights










pce over head action                     snes over head action











pce cutscenes                                snes special fx

The overhead screens look like you have 'em backwards, as the LOXII pics look washed out and bland when compared to the brighter and more vibrant SD3 pics; usually, it's the other way 'round in a PCE/SNES comparison.  Still, they're both great looking games that are impossible to play without eye-humping the screen.

That's a relevant comparison I wouldn't have thougth of. LOXII actually pars really well with SD3, which I honestly wouldn't have believed at all.

WOW :shock: LOXII looks fantastic! I never even heard of the game, let alone seen a screenshot. Is it rare and expensive? I SIMPLY MUST PLAY THAT GAME!!

I too want to get my game on with LOXII, is there a large language barrier by any chance?
