By the late 80s, home arcade ports fell into two categories: ports that try to retain as much as possible of the arcade, but fall foul of hardware limitations; and ports that take inspiration from the original, but are basically new games.
The #Amstrad and #Spectrum ports of #BlackTiger are the former - clunky, monochrome, but clearly Black Tiger. While the #C64 is the latter - smooth with tiny sprites and different mechanics.
A narrow Spectrum win, based on moxy alone.

I still remember the time I passed by a Black Tiger arcade machine. It was on vacation with my parents. But we didn't have time for that 😢
The game was much better than on my Atari ST! 😍
