Matt Newman yes they do, you needed to play/listen to the Amiga version. Not being a fan boy, too old for that now. No idea why it sounded so different because as I remember the st was able to produce better audio and hence was preferred by studios, or am I wrong? The Amiga had a major flaw to it's audio output, like on xenon the sfx cuts out the bgm. And sadly it happens on many games. I'll be honest the original version sounds better, this is way over done. Sometimes less is more ;) A clean up, use better drums and better production. Like the prodigy's voodoo people done by pendulum. Also it might be nice to have bomb the bass do it.
