@MonstersGo Some personality-types in the retro-gaming community (heck, online in general), have a tendency to say "I do it this way. This is the way. All other ways are s**t!" But heck, whatever way you choose to enjoy it: real hardware, CRT, LCD, FPGA, software emulator, it's all good.

@dancloutier So many wee touches that would amaze and delight: dragons, warriors that would commit hari-kari if you got past them, water dragons, ghosts, statue/sword traps.. If you could forgive it the cruel river/stepping-stone obstacles that cropped up from time to time, it was great. 😎
@dancloutier I think the amazing thing with The Last Ninja was that it had martial arts combat, with an excellent selection of weapons represented, arcade adventuring over a huge range of settings/landscapes, and the most amazing daglish/lees loading+game music for every level. An A+ game. 👍
@salsacaek @FlightDreamz @gregnacu The .crt for Ultima V, being on cartridge, has almost no discernible loading delays, and no disk swaps. (IMHO that alone is worth it.) 😁 But also the music is now present in C64 mode. Previously you have to have a C128 to play with music. 🤔 I think that's all. Not much changed.
@FlightDreamz @gregnacu I think we get so many DOS ones because there's a free DOSBox environment that's so easy to set up and sell without legal hassles. For Amiga, the easiest no-hassle way to set it up is to buy Cloanto's Amiga Forever package and run stuff from there, rather than individual games 🤔
@FlightDreamz @gregnacu Amiga was always tricky to emulate. It avoided hard-drive installs for so long that you either have to work with stuff that involves swapping disks, or you have do an AmigaOS install with it, which is commercially active and probably a legal nightmare. *sigh* A shame really. 😐
@FlightDreamz @gregnacu The Amiga was great in the A500 days. Good in the A1200 days. And then it just continued downhill from there as Commodore didn't do enough to improve it, while PC's and Consoles continued to overtake and drive off into the distance. 🤔 Was fun while it lasted though. 😄
@CrazyCollector1 Around this era Lucasfilm/Lucasarts were really hitting their stride with point-and-click adventures. 👍
@dos_retro_gamer I don't think I've ever seen the DOS version before.
I went the Amiga route back then, and loved the Amiga conversion, though it was *real* picky about what hardware it would work on. 🤔
