    Default C64 games that you prefer over their Amiga counterparts

    Which C64 games do you prefer over their Amiga counterparts?

    Recently, I 've been comparing games on my Amiga 500, C64, and SX64. IMHO, the C64 version of Airborne Ranger has better playability/gameplay than its Amiga counterpart and the graphics quality of the two versions are pretty similar. Another example is Archon. The 64 version of Archon is a masterpiece and I prefer its gameplay over the Amiga. Some Amiga enthusiasts have even said that the Amiga port had vastly inferior graphics compared to the 64 version. As both an Amiga & 64 enthusiast, I would say the two version's graphics aren't much different. However the gameplay for Archon is superior on the 64 over the Amiga. Many A500 owners including myself have also noticed that Archon perfers KS 1.2 and tends to crash/hangs when being booted with KS 1.3 which is the standard kick for most A500s. This crashing problem maybe another reason why the 64 version of Archon is preferred over its Amiga counterpart. So anyway, which C64 games do you prefer over their Amiga counterparts?

    I prefer the Amiga Archon but I'm biased because I only played it on the Amiga back in the day and all those 1vs1 games with real people really burn in the nostalgia.

    Not a game to game comparison but Spindizzy on the C64 is boss.

    Oh I always get amazed how much better Sly Spy: Secret Agent is compared to the Amiga version. On the C64 it even starts better: when the spy is about to jump off the plane, the wind shakes the spy's pants, on the Amiga, it doesn't.

    Also, it plays a lot better.

    +1 on Wizball for sure. I can't believe it's only rated 8.5 on Lemon64???
