Thunder Blade on X68000

This port was Incredible for the time.



vs Amiga

 

I'm an Amiga fan, but I've got to admit the X68000 looks the better version

 

I was pretty impressed with that X68000 port and one can think of the X68000 as being no more than 1/2 the performance of the board that ran the arcade game.

*Thunder Blade arcade release: 1987

*Sharp X68000 computer system release: 1987
*Thunder Blade X68000 release: 1990

*Commodore Amiga 1000 / 500 release: 1985/1987
Thunder Blade Amiga release: 1988

 

1 CPU vs 2 and still X68000 version looks very close to arcade.

 

Yup.

 

Don't act so surprised you should know that 99.9% of x68000 arcade conversions where amazingly close to the arcade original.
Shits all over anything the amiga or any other home pc had to offer .

 

I had to quote this for absolute truth -- You said exactly how I feel about X68000 vs Amiga gaming in general.

Hell, the original X68000 of '87 has no problem pissing all over the A1200 of '92 with its AGA chipset.

What a beast.

 

Love it.
