^Wow

It looks like it plays just like the Amiga version. Only different I see is loss of color.
(Goes to emulate this ASAP)

While you're at it you may want to check out these games as well:

what's this Amiga exactly ???

This video demonstrates well how differently the Amiga was in usage as a computer and capabilities during the 80s compared to a MSDOS PC.

With all the legal issues the Amiga had and still has today, there have been enormous roadblocks advancing the platform forward after CBM bankrupted.

Background story on the OS

After years of legal disputes a German heavy weight company called Escom bought Amiga's assets, although they started selling some classic Amigas, they soon bankrupted afterwards mainly due to buying out too many companies within a too short period of time.

Then PC clone heavy weight Gateway bought Amiga's assets, they released AmigaOS 3.9 for classic Amiga computers and their Amiga division was hard at work to produce a modern Amiga after all those years. Sadly as a PC clone maker they were dependent on Microsoft's competitively interesting discounts on Windows, Microsoft ordered Gateway to stop its Amiga project or would face the end for such discounts (something any big PC clone maker enjoys), this would else cost the company many millions of dollars, so the Amiga assets were again sold to modern day Amiga Inc, which together with Hyperion and Eyetech signed a contract to develop Amiga4.0, currently Amiga Inc and Hyperion are fighting in the court for who owns what exactly...

AmigaOS4.0 was released for decade old PPC enabled classic Amigas (November 2007) and Eyetech´s former AmigaOne computers (January 2007):

The Settlers (Amiga original released in 1993, runs fully on Amigas from the 80s including the entry model A500):

The Settlers (PC version released in 1994, runs only on good spec PCs of the time)

No console versions existed, of course no Atari ST neither.
