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.
