I think the Amiga is best - best graphics - best music - and mouse control.

Sega Genesis is close second - it's sound chip is inferior but otherwise identical to Amiga.

Your thoughts?

Hmm, I'll have to give the genesis version a go sometime. The SNES version has always been my favorite, even with the slower gameplay, but that's 100% personal bias talking right there.

I don't doubt that the Amiga version is more than likely 100000% superior to it for anyone that wasn't introduced to the game on the SNES :)

Can't do Populous without a mouse .. Amiga all the way ;) The ST version was good as well. Some types of games just should be played with proper controls ..

Sports/Fighting/Platformers = Gamepad or Stick, depending on era

FPS/RTS/MMORPG = KB+Mouse

x68000 if you have the appropriate system, most likely.
