the amigamix is horrible, one sample is way too dominant so the rest is muted.

atarimix is way better, clearer.

now we have to decide:

4 channel samples

vs

3 channel chiptune

since its WAY more difficult to replay a 4 channel song with only 3 channels, atari is the winner here.

@bazz303 It`s 7 Voices in the Amiga-Turrican II. (that`s why the drums aren`t so dominant) But anyways, if you like the ST-Sound I`m fine with it. :) Differrent people,different opinions.

AMIGA!

@ShiryuGL o siento, no hablo español ! X^)

although Jochen Hippel has done an exceptional job recreating the Amiga Original..Chris Huelsbeck was the only man to make Turrican sing like an angel ;)

Amiga wins this one out.

AMIGA POWER!!!!

The most stupid argument from ST fanboys is the "Paula uses digital samples" argument. Well, guess what, the AY chip also generates digital samples: 1 bit square waves with 50% duty cycle and a LFSR for a 1 bit digital noise pattern. Those kind of sounds can be easily emulated on the Amiga. Even more: the AY has only 4 bit volume register (16 levels) for envelopes, while Paula has 6 bit (64 levels). Plus, one Paula voice may be 28khz, but the mixing rate between all 4 voices is 3.58 Mhz.

The amiga sounds awesome, even with newer technology from today, they couldnt improve the amiga version by much, it sound is haunting, as of all turrican soundtracks by chris h, The atari does sound like a gameboy / spectrum and well behind the times of the amiga, the bass instruments sound like distorted 50 pence headphones on the st

Atari wins hands down, because the most is made of very limited hardware. Amiga should have been much better with its hardware advantages.

THE REAL ANSWER IS AMIGA BEST QUALITY VERY NICE SOUNDTRACK (PAULA) BUT ATARI VERY BEST FOR RYTHM (ALTHOUGH LOW QUALITY BUT WONDERFULL).I THINK "THERE ISNT" BEST SONG HERE.(OF COURSE,ESPECIALLY FOR CHIP SOUND LOVERS,ATARI ST IS BETTER HERE)

hahahahahahahahha bazz303, it's fun this old computer war, but amiga it's the best in any way.......

[bazz303]

@hankillo1 you spanish jajajaja psychos scare me. so i wont reply. oh wait...

[ricardo0123]

is there any doubt?

amiga plays real digital sounds, atari only have memory to do sintetized  samples, it sounds like spectrum 128k

[hankillo1]

@bazz303 jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja­jajaajajajaajjajajaajajjajajaj­ajaajajajajajajajaj TROLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!You are so idiot and deaf of course

[2DFlightSim]

Atari all the way with this one I think. I do like the original on the amiga, but those low quality samples used in mods sound really dated, whereas the ataris raw sine, square & noise waves still sound fresh. Great conversion.
