Chambers of Shaolin C64/ST/Amiga

1989 Thalion
Comparing whole game, inclusive loading sounds/time, graphics and musics.

This games was developed on an Atari ST, and the Amiga conversion has similar graphics. However, there are some small improvements graphically, for example:

Atari:
320x200 - 320x240, ~50 Colors

Amiga:
372x286, 86 Colors Thalion Intro
320x206 - 320x248, ~50 Colors In-Game

Nevertheless, the graphics also look unusually good on the Atari. The Atari only had to accept compromises in music due to hardware reasons. Joachim Hippel, the game's composer, managed to get the most out of the YAMAHA Y2149F chip (i.e. 46:30). The C64 offered good analog synthesis, while the Amiga could do all kinds of sound with its PCM chip. Loading times are the slowest on the C64, and faster, much faster, on the Amiga. Atari is in between. Unfortunately, only a kind of demo version was implemented on the C64, half of the game is missing and the character cannot be saved. The special thing about this game was that it was divided into two parts: The training determined the character values ​​for the fight against the computer or 2nd person. And the character disk cannot be copied, neverless on a real Amiga or on an Emulator/ADF.
