# You replied to the wrong bit
that wasn't a spectrum vs. commodore bit, that was an 'I know all about the Sam Coupe' bit :)

# Oh yes. But I'm a very strange individual, you see.
Ask me anything about old computers, and I probably know it :)

# Because it wasn't programmed very well
This is one of the few cases where the spectrum version was better.

Also, catering for the "lowest common denominator", the graphics were translated directly from the spectrum version, so appear much flatter and monochrome than most C64 games of that era.

However, Outrun Europa and Stunt Car Racer are both great racing games for the '64.
