Uh, i never wrote in my review that Amiga displays in the game 4096 colors :P To be more precise about technical matters of the Amiga ( 1000, 500, & 2000 models ), the only graphics mode that the machine could display 4096 colours, was in HAM mode. In that mode the pictures could only be static, not moving, and there was and a restriction about "placing" the colours ( they gave the impression of a rainbow ). In normal graphics mode with moving objects, colours could be up to 64. ( Amiga had "programmable" resolutions... from 150X100 to 640X480, with any number of colours between 2 to 64 ). Of course, later as programmers got to know the secrets of the machine, games appeared with 128 and 256 colours on screen, HAM mode moving pictures etc etc...
All those things make the Amiga one of the best, if not the best, computer of the 16bit generation
