   Can someone explain to me why HeroQuest II was an Amiga exclusive in the year of our Luigi 1994?

     @dosnostalgic I don’t know, but I’m assuming it’s because no other platform was cool enough to house it.

     @dosnostalgic that was a British developer, right? The amiga situation over there was highly weird and I’ve never fully understood it, although this web page helped a bit https://theweekly.co.uk/ap2/index.html

     @nfagerlund It is, and the game had troubled development, but the first HeroQuest game just 2 years earlier came out on all major home computer platforms, both 8 and 16 bit.
