I've (briefly) played the SNES version, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on the console ports, and how they compare with the PC version.

The PC and SNES versions are very close in looks and everything. Unlike The Lost Vikings, where the extra screen width of the PC helps with FoV, in Blackthorne you could not reasonable do that, because it is not a scroller. So instead the PC has a dedicated inventory bar. The music in the PC is a bit more ambient, with less "oomph", if I remember correctly.

The only other port I've played is the Sega 32x. That one has slightly better backgrounds, but weird looking sprites. Its biggest selling point is an extra area (snowy mountains) with 4 new levels. Not sure it introduces any new game mechanics, though. Still, worth playing once just for that, maybe.

32x Blackthorne's artistically mutual with the Mac version which also had weird CG'd sprites

Played Moto racer 2. The ska music is really off putting

Tonight I just started playing Dishonored. I knew the game was good but I was not expecting it to be *that* good. The gameplay and the lore are both awesome. I'm completely hooked.

You're in for a treat. 😄 I highly recommend playing through the Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches DLCs after completing the base game. They are superbly made, and tie directly into the plot of the sequel.

BTW, over the years, I've come to enjoy the Dishonored games even more than the Thief series. I still have a lot of love and nostalgia for the latter, but nowadays, Dishonored just feels more fun to me.
