My 2 cents:
Like many old Psygnosis games, they were mostly eye
and ear candy... But you should check out their
original creations (Beast, Lemmings, Leander, Agony,
Brian the Lion, etc...) on the Amiga... They were
really amazing for their time.
I love Shadow of the Beast on the Turbo just because
of its awesome music... It is just a perfect
conversion of the Amiga originals. In my opinion,
though, $25 or $30 is way too much for the game! I've
gotten it for as low as $9 (in Canada, at Radio Shack,
a long time ago) and $3-$4 here in Japan. Hell, I
think the store in my city has a few copies left of
Beast at that price.
Anybody ever try out the Japanese version? The
cinemas take up more of the screen (but the loading
time is awful) and the ending is rather different.
And VERY weird.
Finally, this seems to be one of the few games that
uses the TG's high-resolution mode of 512x224(?)
pixels. The error messages, a couple opening screens,
and story text in the Japanese version are all
high-res (and thus don't look correct on emulators).
That's all for now...
