Well not really.... since Manic Miner's graphics aren't especially good (on the Spectrum version, at least) wheras DoE's graphics are actually quite nice. Which Sam games in particular would you say have better graphics? > Oh yea, Prince and Klax are from Domark. What is Domark? Or Tengen? > Is it another Enigma-like company which did a few great games in 1990? Tengen is the arcade games company which originally produced KLAX. Domark are the software house who published KLAX for Spectrum, Amstrad, C64, Amiga, ST etc. I think the Sam releases of KLAX and EFtPotRM was actually handled by Enigma (hence the music is by Sean Conran, like nearly all the other Enigma games) under license to Domark. The Sam release of PoP was handled by Revelation, under license to Domark. Generally, the big companies (like Domark) paid very little attention to the Sam, and it was only when little companies (or individuals) programmed their Sam games for them that anything actually got released.
