Without a doubt the Amiga rules the roost on this battle, but the atari ST quartet version is pretty close to the Amiga original , the Mega drive one is exceptional, and if you never heard the Amiga version before hand, this would of won hands down, fantasic fm sound chip tune-age 🙂

I think is definately the hardest one to pick so far, all of the different versions are superb.

I plumped for the remixed Atari Lynx version, it just sounds so moody - I love it! 

Amiga without doubt. I love this game. 

The game was actually more a tech demo than a game, as it s long play is only 15mins from start to finish..they admitted this in an interview many years later..shadow of the beast 2 was more a complete game than the first.

But yes the DAvid Whittaker score is epic..as was much of his other Amiga classics.

Yep, thankfully the Lynx version is a different but similar looking game and much better for it.

I think the Amiga version is the best of the bunch. 

Going from the Spectrum to the Amiga, this was one of the early games that blew my tiny mind!

Amiga winning this over the Lynx right now!

Have to go with the Amiga for this one.

Recorded a 50hz version of the Mega Drive one as the tempo is more like the original:
