Filter by: All 6 SNES 2 DOS 1 Mac 1 GBA 1 32X 1 Windows 1. The backgrounds, however, are just upscaled and the hideous sprites look none the better. Blackthorne (game, cinematic platformer, fantasy, 2D platformer, science fiction. This version was also later ported to the Mac, running in double resolution. The game was actually ported by Paradox Development as opposed to Blizzard themselves, which probably accounts for its sketchy quality. (Why couldn't they have just used the music from the PC game, which sounded perfectly okay even as FM Adlib?) There's actually blood in this version, but it's not quite as copious as it was in the PC release. The soundtrack tries to be like the SNES version, but the FM synth of the Genesis sound chip just isn't up to it, and it comes off as really quite pointless.
Not only are they computer rendered, but the proportions are ridiculously off, so Blackthorne has gigantic shoulders and a tiny head, and the Sarlac just kinda look stupid.
On the other hand, the sprites are terrible.
The visuals are a mixed bag – the backgrounds look fantastic, and there's a lot of extra detail that helps make the game look less drab. On paper, the 32X version should be the definitive port, considering it has better graphics and four new levels, which take place on a snowy mountain.
