The Amiga version of King's Quest VI is quite different from the PC one. It doesn't use the SCI1 engine. Instead, it was programmed to run and look acceptably on the slow, 32 color Amiga 500. Correct me if I'm wrong.

There is also a hilariously lame 8-bit NES version of King's Quest V!

By the way, the Amiga versions of some Sierra games support the MT-32.

KQ6 was ported by a third-party, if I remember correctly. Sierrra had stopped making Amiga ports by that point.

The NES KQ5 wasn't so bad. I played it from start to finish. The colours are pretty bland (only one shade of colour per screen), but it was pretty good considering the system it's on. I also enjoyed the NES chiptune renditions of the soundtrack Smiley.

Maybe I'll do one if it's not already up there.

Which Games? Just bought an Amiga 1200 - I'm thinking about connecting my MT-32 (just got one from ebay) to the Amiga....
BTW: Police Quest 3 looks and sounds (intro theme) horrible on the Commodore...

Mostly the SCI1 games I think. They let you select an MT-32 driver during installation. Like Police Quest 3, SQ1 SCI, LSL1 SCI, SQ4, LSL5, KQ5. However, the MT-32 output is no different from the PC versions.
