Well for one, the sound on the PC was (if I remember properly) just regular pc speaker), and it wasn't as smooth, especially in the scrolling routines as the ST/Amiga versions (fun factoid, the game was developed on the Amiga by accident... Molyneaux didn't have any money for a new computer and Commodore accidently sent him an A1000 which was supposed to go to another developer and he just didn't return it).
