Out of interest what looks different about it?

When I told a friend about my Acorn restoration efforts he immediately asked what the end goal of the project was - after I'd told him he sounded "just like my wife" I reluctantly said "I'll know it's been successful when it runs Lemmings". For what it's worth I thought the Acorn version looked "funny" compared to the DOS version I used in my teens. I'm sure it doesn't help in my case that it's being stretched from 4:3 into widescreen.

I definitely haven't finished restoring the Acorn, either...
