Ripley's runs on Whitestar hardware which dates back to Sega and the mid 90's. It's using 8 bit processors which are pretty light weight even on mobile. The fact that it runs 2 of them, vs. Williams WPC only running one make it run 50% slower than those games. Depending on the device, you might not notice any difference at all in performance, but on slower devices, you definitely would see the hit.Newer hardware used 16 & 32 bit processors, which would not necessarily run well on mobile devices.PS - I share your thoughts 100% about BBB, truly unique and awesome game. Shame game play never got fully fleshed out, though it's still a great player as is.
