Tempest 2000 - uuuhhh?

[strawdonkey]

I've just dug my Saturn out and remembered that I had T2k, so obviously I gave it a shot. I'm as shite as ever at it, only managed 380,000-odd, but whatever.

I'm recalling a conversation a while back about the "superior" versions of T2k though, everyone said the Jaguar one. Why? I've extensively played the PC one which seemed fine, and while I've only had a quick blast on both the Jag and Saturn versions, I have to say the Saturn version seemed the better of the two It's smoother and crisper (although I am using a SCART cable which probably helps the crispy goodness a bit). The Jag version seemed a bit jerky in comparison... to it's credit though, the menu screens and that on the Jag version were executed way better than the Saturn - they're completely atrocious.

But, er, yeah. I'm a bit confused. Can anyone explain to me why certain versions are allegedly better?

Hmm, I like them both and since each version has it's advantages and/or disadvantages, I tend to play both. However, since I have several Jaguars adorning my home (one in each room ) and but one Saturn, I get much more playtime on that variation. Plus, using a very comfortable and exceptional looking Tyrant Rotary controller always helps me "lean" toward the Jag version.

I think I have the demo of the Mac version. I liked the music so much I was looking for a copy.

But sadly, I cannot find one and therefore my life is invalidated.

This has been mention a lot here before, but I think the non-Jag versions have different AI.
