Unknown lead platform:
Ninja
Released for Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, & PC in 1986
Released for Amiga & Atari ST in 1987
Ported to Amstrad CPC & ZX Spectrum in 1987 by Icon Design
Mobygames credits designer Steve Coleman for the Atari 8-bit & Atari ST versions. Credits for Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum are unknown, though the latter is through British studio Icon Design.
I would guess that C64 is a conversion of the Atari 8-bit version for two reasons - first, Atari is more colorful, though this is subtle. Secondly, Wikipedia states that Coleman's previous work was on Atari 8-bit.
Atari ST, on the other hand, is less colorful than the Amiga version, suggesting to me that Coleman's ST version is a conversion from the Amiga (which itself is probably derived from Coleman's Atari version).
WWF Raw
Released for Game Boy, Game Gear, and SNES in November 1994
Released for Genesis and 32X in 1994/1995
Sources disagree on the Genesis & 32X U.S. release dates. Mobygames states 32X is '94, Genesis '95, and Wikipedia the other way around.
WWF Attitude
First released for Playstation on August 6, 1999
Released for N64 in August 31, 1999 by Iguana Entertainment
Ported to Dreamcast in November 1999 by Iguana Entertainment

When’s the next post?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't say. As of right now I haven't even started playing the next game - been too busy with work, life, and various distractions these past few weeks.
DeleteIs this the end for my favorite blog?
ReplyDeleteI sure hope not, it’s a favourite of mine too.
DeleteRest assured, I am eager to return to this.
