Yeah, I don't know how different the Amiga and PS editions of these games are. Lure of the Temptress seems to be new to Steam. The others might be worth it if the technical immprovements are meaningful enough and for the nostalgia of course. ;)
Beneath a Steel Sky (1994) is free on Steam btw. Very good point-and-click.

Are the playstation editions of broken sword somehow more desireable than the pc versions? Quickly read through a review of the first game and they called it a terrible port with more bugs than the original.

Antstream as DEV is something interesting, i hope that some of antstream games got a pc and console ports offline.

Yes is taking a long time, in xbox and Playstation i think that antstream is avaliable.

I'm not sure I understand what happened, because at least three out of four games were given away for free (under different conditions and circumstances), but I love it when publishers remember their legacy and make good official collections with emulators in a fancy design and with additional materials.

These are not the versions that are in the news release, but in case anyone is interested, one game is available on Steam for free:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1368340/Beneath_a_Steel_Sky_1994/
one game is still available as DLC if you have the remaster
https://store.steampowered.com/app/580440/Broken_Sword_2_Original_Version/
the third one seems to be no longer available, disappeared with the Director's Cut unfortunately, so only if you managed to pick it up at the time
https://store.steampowered.com/app/580430/Broken_Sword_1_Original_Version/
i don't know how the situation is with the new remake of the first game now - are they giving something as a bonus with it or not?

I looked in SteamDB and it says that they only give the original version with the game. Maybe they only give the choice of what to run to those who have purchased the Director's Cut?
I'm just asking, I'm really interested, but I always thought this release was completely unnecessary and no one asked for it, they were only asked to add achievements like it's been in mobile versions for a long time...

Can anybody explain if the Amiga version of Lure of the Temptress in this collection is different than the DOS/ScummVM version available on GOG?

"Lure of the Temptress" was originally released for the Amiga and later ported to DOS. While both versions offer the same core gameplay and story, the Amiga version is often considered superior due to its smoother gameplay and superior graphics. The DOS version, while functional, had some issues with pathfinding and overall performance, especially in later versions.
Sometimes people prefer an amiga version on older adventure games, sometimes just for the music.

Thanks, in that case I'll leave it on the GOG exclusives list and add a note about the Amiga version being available on Steam

Probaply not the versions I´d prefer to play, but I´m a big fan of game preservation. Making different, more obscure version of old games available again (even if they are worse) is certainly a concept I support.
I'm not sure about the exact differences here, but many Amiga games had very different (and often better) music than the PC versions. I've played Beneath a Steel Sky only on Amiga, so I don´t know if the PC version is better, worse or the same.

Smoother gameplay and better graphics for Lure of the Temptress atleast, i think that's the best one out of the 4, also for it to be on steam.
Beneath amiga 32 has speech and music (dunno if pc has that, don't think so).

My brain must be really tired today 😅 I could've sworn I've read your full OP and the whole thread, but somehow missed you mentioning this twice already (while the thread isn´t all that big).
Thanks for still taking the time to craft a full answer for me.

Four legendary titles in one definitive collection. Play the Amiga editions of Lure of the Temptress and Beneath a Steel Sky, plus the PlayStation editions of Broken Sword 1 and 2. Relive the 1990's from Revolution Software and the timeless adventures that shaped a genre.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/267390/Revolution_Editions__Shadow__Steel/
To recap:
Lure of the Temptress (Amiga): "Often considered superior due to its smoother gameplay and superior graphics" plus the first time it comes to steam.
Beneath a Stealth Sky (Amiga 32): Speech and Music (not avaialble in other versions?).
Broken Sword 1+2 (Playstation): Most likely the worse versions out there?
