I suppose there aren't that many on the old ST, but I'm still curious.

I would check Youtube. The only videos I've seen of UN Squadron, though, are for the arcade and SNES versions.

The problem with most Atari ST shmups is that for almost all of the worthwhile ones there are equal or superior Amiga versions available.

The only exception I can think of is the original Goldrunner, where they stupidly dropped joystick controls on the Amiga and forced you to play with the mouse.

And whilst thats true, the arcade conversions listed are far better done on other formats, namely the PCE, Genesis or Mame.

Exactly, all Amiga and ST games suck in comparison to console ports. Graphics/gameplay. Yet music wise the Amiga/ST does beat consoles
