[@PyronsLair]

Amazing video as always, sad see the lower count of views, this videos and your content deserves much more.

[@silenig]

Thanks, Pyron, your comments mean a lot :)

@@silenig it's a pleasure, I always share your content with my friends, sadly I didn't comment on videos because I usually I watch it on big TV to enjoy the details. Keep going with the good work.

​@@PyronsLair Thanks a lot, man. You keep it up too :)

[@jugomebu]

You've put soooo much work into this, and thank you. It was amazing to see and hear the differences. I'd Onky played the Mega Drive version. And oh my goodness!! There's a Lemmings Easter egg?!

[@elipappas8943]

Leander Amiga was the best out of all the versions. Its sounds and particularly the music. Nothing beats it. I want this game again. You did well. Thank you very much.

[@temp911Luke]

LOL i had expected sega ver to be better but im pleasently surprised with Amiga ver. Looks WAY better !

[@GreenTeaViewer]

Amiga games often look great and sound great...so not a surprise for me :-) Also, the Genesis version of this one was the port

[@temp911Luke]

@@GreenTeaViewer Sega medgadrive had a lot of relly nice looking games but i agree at the time only a few could compete.

[@adroharv9213]

Leander is definitely at home on Amiga. When the Amiga did it's own things then it was able to produce some lovely games that played well to the Amiga's strength. It's still a very capable machine and had it been supported by some of the bigger companies then it would have had even more excellent games. As it is I very much enjoy the feel of Amiga games like Elf, Niki Buum, Fire and Ice etc and occasionally the Amiga had some even more impressive games that competed well directly like this one or Lionheart, Ruff and Tumble. That's the beauty of being able to play each system so easily these days. Enjoy the best from each of the platforms and you can't go wrong

[@ilmediosu]

why megadrive intro has the main character who is not the same in-game?

[@sega20x80]

Can you do the Killing Game Show a.k.a. Fatal Rewind or Puggsy or Thunder Force 2 or Sonic the hedgehog?

[@silenig]

Yeah, good suggestions.

[@atomicskull6405]

So is Leander three feet tall or the princess 9 feet tall?

[@WinLoveCry]

Love the Amiga version... audio wins it for me

[@alexl7213]

1:13:11 To easily defeat the giant otter, you would get the lion sword, activate a rune bomb, and while the ghost roaring lion is on screen and Leander is immune to damage, the player crosses by the giant otter onto its back, and kills it by hitting the legs in safety.

[@turrican4d599]

45:40 Why is the water broken in Mega Drive?

[@newgameld2512]

I'm pretty sure it's not broken. Try re-watching that segment in 60fps. A similar transparency effect happens in Sonic games.

nice easter egg at 1:01:55

Best Easter egg ever :)

Why the atari st version appears sometimes. Tu humiliate the atari st players ?

[@Wagoo]

Or whoever ported it for not using any STE features

[@moregamemusic]

I am an Amiga Fan but I say Megadrive/Genesis wins! faster, better music and more colorful.

[@takedeepshhh]

not faster but smoother (50fps vs 25fps). gfx are better but amiga has more varied backgrounds and a moving mechanical wheel:) dunno about the music doh...

[@roartjrhom4932]

Better music? No way... but I can agree that the Megadrive looks abit better..

[@moregamemusic]

@@roartjrhom4932 Level 2s music is way better on megadrive then on Amiga imo. it has more energy to it, the Amiga one gets annoing after a while.

[@adroharv9213]

@@takedeepshhh amiga version is 50 frames I'm pretty sure

[@off1k]

@@takedeepshhh It's not smoother on the real deal (Megadrive on this video is faster), only on a KZbin video it is. For the Megadrive the uploader is using a 60hz NTSC on a 60fps video, perfect match thus perfect smoothness. The Amiga version is PAL 50hz (50fps) on a 60fps video, not perfect match so suffers with some choppy frames. If the uploader had recorded the Amiga version at 50fps and uploaded the video at 50fps and then you switched the monitor you're watching this on to 50hz, the Amiga version would be perfectly smooth.

[@000jimbojones000]

the genesis version came 1 year later... And yes, speed and animation is better on the megadrive. Its a newer game console made in 1989. The amiga 500 was made in 1987. So the hardware of the genesis/megadrive was better for gaming. The amiga was a complete 16 bit microcomputer and not only a game console. But for its time it was better then a crappy dos PC. For normal console games where better in that time. But the amiga was the first that introduced a multichannel Digital soundchip. So all music on the amiga is made with soundsamples. the megadrive uses a analoge Fm sound Chip.

[@1001digital]

Thats wrong. The Amiga is 32 Bit, not 16. And because of its Custom chips it was great for gaming. Mega Drive has the advantage of not having a slow floppy drive to load data from.

[@000jimbojones000]

@@1001digital its not.. the amiga 500 (ocs) was a 16 bit system with the same prozessor that the genesis had a 68000 motorola processor. it only had the special denise and paula chips for sounds and gfx. The chip itself was 32 bit capable but the real 32 bit usage came in the later amiga versions. Amiga 4000 for example.

[@1001digital]

@@000jimbojones000 I'm quite sure that the AmigaOS was 32 Bit from the beginning. Yes, the 68000 still has a few 16 Bit parts, but there were Addons for A500 and A2000 (some of which even worked in the A1000) with 68020 and 030, later even 68040. All of these are full 32 Bit processors and were fully used by the Amiga. So the Amiga IS a 32 Bit platform.

[@000jimbojones000]

@@1001digital the later processors yes. but not the a500. And in this video they compare the ocs version. it was 32bit "capable" under Amiga OS. But it wasnt rly used until the later models. Yes, it can be quite confusing. So when you use a game like this you def. only use the 16 bit mode of the system. later Processors and amiga os was full 32 bit. e.g. the Amiga 1200.

[@1001digital]

@@000jimbojones000 Please read it up. The 68000 ist not a 16 bit processor, only the data bus and a few registers were 16 bit. Saying the Amiga 500 is a 16 bit computer is just wrong.

[@Ryusuta]

I've never seen the Atari ST version before today. And all I can say about that one is "Oof..."

[@pnvgordinho]

The Megadrive has more bright colors and it has a background with mountains but The Amiga has the classic degrade background. Also just for the fact that the character is blond, I will go for the Amiga version. The character looks a lot better. But its nice to see that there's a megadrive version. Im going to play it.

[@turrican4d599]

The Mega Drive paltette is just unsufficient. I bought it only on topa of my Amiga because of the exclusive Shoot'em Ups, NOT for its ugly graphics.

[@bighairydel]

good video but no stereo sound from amiga

Great game, in this unusual case mega drive wins.

[@perihelion7445]

@@filevans No he's right, MegaDrive version does win in this case. Amiga version lacks multi-level parallax scrolling as well music and sound effects at the same time. Yes the Amiga version has better music but that's it's only saving grace.

[@perihelion7445]

@@filevans It's not an opinion it's fact. Your personal preference is subjective not objective. I already said the Amiga version sounds better, no need to repeat that point.

[@perihelion7445]

@Benjamin Jagun That's the thing, the Amiga is my most favourite system of all time, I own 2 Amiga 1200's, one with a Blizzard 030 and an Amiga 500. I love the Amiga but I "know" when a version of the same game is better on another system. The inability to be honest with oneself and not walk out of the delusional bias I'll never understand 👍

[@CrashUK28]

ST match Sage for poor sound in every game.

[@iwanttocomplain]

I don’t think Travellers Tales have ever made a fun game... Maybe Sonic R.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

You clearly haven't played many of them. Mickey Mania, the Toy Story games, A Bug's Life, Muppet Racemania, and the majority of the Lego games.

[@iwanttocomplain]

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 I played Toy Story. It was dumb. Also Sonic 3D Blast which was boring and frustrating. I actually got quite far in 3D Blast but got to a point I couldn’t figure out what to do. It is at least a 6/10 game.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

@Jackamomo Toy Story controls okay, has solid design, and has a lot of variety to its gameplay. Whether it's the different tasks depending on the level, or the different playstyles that help to break up the monotony. The only genuine flaw would be the difficulty, but fortunately they did address it in the PAL version with the addition of a password system. I didn't mention Sonic 3D Blast, or Sonic 3D: Flickies Island which I prefer personally, because it's just an average game. I like the overall design, but the repetition and slippery control does prevent it from being great. Oh and not having a password system. Then again, there's the Director's Cut which addresses some of the problems with the gameplay.

[@iwanttocomplain]

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 take Galahad. An early platform game of theirs. It’s pretty. But man is it dull. They just always had good programmers but never good game designers. Toy Story is just them throwing everything at it. Coding skills galore but not much fun in the end.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Galahad? I'm guessing this is Leander. I haven't played that game yet, but I'll give it a shot eventually. "Toy Story is just them throwing everything at it" Well, aside from it being faithful to almost the entire movie, you can say that about plenty of 16-bit platforming games like the Earthworm Jim series.
