Added to a couple of games their Atari ST counterparts to compare the images directly. It's interesting to see how the artists adapted to the different hardware limitations.

The images that support the new comparison feature can be switched with the "Amiga" / "AtariST" buttons in the top right corner and there is a whole new category where you can find all images that can be compared.

EU version

The highly optimized 16 color version was upgraded to 32 colors, but only a hand full of those colors were actually used and even those could have been further reduced.

US version

Sadly some really poor edits were done to the US version of the title. Not sure why, but maybe someone felt the image was a bit too agressive / explicit.

This images uses some crazy amount of copper trickery to extend the 16 base colors to a total of over 120 colors.

But the Amiga version falls behind in comparison to the Atari ST version where over 150 colors are created, despite the Atari ST's lack of a copper chip.
