Port Trouble

It is interesting how one and the same game can sometimes get a completely different reception on different platforms.

Nerther Earth
Good reviews on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, condemned on the Commodore 64.
Krakout and TRAZ
Considered top Arkanoid clones on the Commodore 64, but hated on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
Hawkeye
This side-scrolling shooter was one of the greatest success stories of the demoscene on the Commodore 64, but the Amiga and Atari ST ports bombed.
Bob Winner
On the Amstrad CPC and on the PC the graphics of this otherwise unremarkable game were outstanding, but the Commodore 64 port went horribly wrong.
