The best graphics are in the Hercules version! The pixel art is supreme and took advantage of very small pixels to make dithering in a very particular way. Hope people valued more the work the developers did to accomplish this.

@Human Bean: There are several versions of the .adf files, but you only need to unpack 4 of them (disk 1-4) and load them into your Amiga emulator (like FS-UAE Launcher). You should also find some Kickstart.rom files and import them into the emulator.

Press F5 to save, load, or quit. Note that the into takes a little while to finish and you have to let it finish before you can load your game.

The steam version isn't the original. The original is abandonware. Steam has the remastered version, which has hideous graphics.

I first played the Amiga version (decades ago) but lately I've been playing the DOS EGA version and I'm very impressed at how good it looks! These guys really put a lot of attention to detail in the dithering, to make the EGA screens look good. It's now my favorite version. And I think Loom EGA also looks great...
