Sargon III / Amiga probably is the most "classic" Sargon version. I liked it
too. I think it's the only reason why I still have my old Amiga 500 available
ready to run (? at least I think it's there; currently I see only a big pile of
dust :o))
An example game of Sargon III Amiga (40/2h):

This version was less colorful, but IMO more smooth running in the Amiga OS than
the latest DOS version, Sargon V, which had a very low screen resolution
compared to todays pc standards.
For Sargon V, *expanded* memory should be configured. It can use up to 2 MB hash
memory then, IIRC. But expanded memory will most probably only be possible with
earlier DOS until Win98. It requires EMM386.EXE.
A recent result of Sargon V, running at 20 secs per move on a P2/333 (the
opponents at 40/2h). It was a shuffle chess tournament, scheveningen pairing
