I have seen marble madness on the ST, and I agree it is pretty sad. However,
I do have to agree somewhat with Chuck; the bottom line being that
there isn't much that the ST does that can't be done on an Amiga, but
definitely not vice-versa.
    This is not meant as a flame on the ST. It still represents a good
value for the money. But ports from dissimilar machines rarely hold up
well. This is a well known fact. I have Dark Castle for the Mac, and
recently have played the version that is available for the PC. It is
terrible. Very slow, and the graphics just don't hold up well. Playing
it on a AT system helps, somewhat. The digitised sound effects that are
so neat on the Mac sound like bees in a beer can on the PC.
    Yes, I thought long and hard about buying a 1040ST. But I am buying
an Amiga 2000 at the end of this month, because it has the software and
hardware to do what I want to do (Desktop Video).
