I love the vocals on the SNES :-P

[retronostalgic]

The Snes sounded better than the Megadrive but it still didn't sound as good as the Amiga...

First time I heard it on the Miggy, thought to myself, "nice composition, really well done considering memory constraints" Then I heard the Snes version at my mate’s house. Just sat there, lips pursed holding in the biggest laugh for about ten seconds, with my mate glaring at me "Shut the F%*K up, [him] I know it sounds like a piece of tinny crap" And it was a piece of tinny crap. He he.

Viva Paula the DMA wonder girl!

Tinier samples on the SNES, Amiga wins (no duh :3 )

@allisterbrimble I remember when i was a kid i was reading the paula limitations: just four sound channels and 8 bit sampling . However paula could read directly from the system's RAM, using direct memory access (DMA) and that made all the difference compared to the SNES...

[allisterbrimble]

SNES only had 64K sound memory including sound effects, and I had to squeeze the tunes into about 32K, ADPCM compressed. Some of the instruments had to be synthesised in real time (the c64 style ones are the real time synth). I notice I got the tempo slightly wrong too! Should be a little faster!!! Initially we had the vocals in there but sound effects just wouldn't fit.

Allister Brimble comes from the Amiga, so the Amiga version are a way better. And for the Snes version the 2nd track (the opening one) sound just like shit on the SNES.

@daveruda i agree..of course the snes could've done 100 times better than it did especially at 2:20..the amiga, on the other hand, was really being pushed

[daveruda]

Amiga all the way! No competition on this one...

@RYUderby Holy Sh*t ! what kind of Gameboy did you had back then ?!
