      Actually I played it on the PS2 with the optical drive sped up and it was perfectly fine. Apparently it's not as good on the PS1.

        The old PC ports were hardly bad.

        >DOOM on anything but PC
        PSX Doom has some of its own stuff going, and Doom 64 is a good game in its own right (basically an all new game, rather than a port, though).
        Also, I enjoyed GBA Doom 2 as a teen because it's more or less Doom 2, if slightly scuffed, and with the comfortably compact GBA SP it was very nicely portable.

        >Quake (and successors) on anything but PC
        Console versions of Quake 2 have exclusive content.

        The PSX port of Chrono Trigger is infamous for having to stop and load for every fight and every screen transition, as in every time you move from one room or screen to another, or every time you have to stop and fight the tiniest battle. It flows HORRIBLY because of this. The animated cutscenes are very cool, but the port performs substantially worse than the original which ran on the relatively meek SNES, and that's quite the failure.

        If running it on a PS2 or PS3 gets you past that, that's pretty nice, but it was a very rough experience back then. The DS port of Chrono Trigger adds in the cool animated cutscenes and has no loading times, in addition to being portable.

        The CPS1 and Mega Drive both used Motorola 68K CPUs. The Mega Drive port is the most accurate to arcade home port because of this. You probably only care about the graphics.

            No but same CPU will not only make the process of porting the game far easier but it allows you to keep the core logic intact.

      it was developed on the mac of course

      ms had zero (0) launch titles for their upcoming xbox so they showed up at bunge with a huge truck full of money, and delayed the release of halo for almost a whole year, so it could be an xbox exclusive, then only later did it come to PC and finally, even later, the Mac which it was developed on and for

        Halo was part of a series that started on the Xbox. And the mac version is by far and away the worst version of the game.

          Nope, it was simply the next game in the Marathon series. Mac version's the real, authentic version.

          Fair, however if I don't want to mess around with a Mac VM, and go for a quick & dirty Android emu, would the NES UIII be that bad?

          Yes it's that bad.

            Halo is Marathon if and only if Sony owns Halo.
            Microsoft owns Halo.
            Therefore Halo is not Marathon.

          Wizardry is definitely easier. No keyboard commands, it autosaves with each battle you win, and your party can't die from old age if you take too long to complete the game.

        Famicom UIII looks better than the Mac version? That's just poppywiener. SNES Ultima games are trash too compared to the PC.

      Altered Beast was demo'd during the Megadrive launch by having it placed next to the arcade cab, and most people couldn't tell the difference.

      of course, the MD couldn't do scaling - they wanted to add it, but it made the chip too big according to the lead hardware engineer.

        They could've cut out SMS backcompa, since nobody gave a shit about SMS games anyway. At least not when they saw the difference between SMS and Genesis titles side-by-side.

    Yeah, no. I don't care care all that much about your opinionated and sneering list, OP. Ultima games on the NES and Master System are surely a different experience than on Apple ][, Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit, NEC PC-8801 IBM PC, Atari ST Macintosh, Fujistu FM-7, MSX2, and Sharp X1. Those ports, along with Morrowind for OG Xbox, are bound to have differences here and there. Not even quoting your post, because you don't even deserve a (you)

      IIgs got amazing ports of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. Shockingly good for the time.

      PC gaming was a different format though. Arcade games are designed to suck quarters out of the pockets of children. With PC gaming you paid in one go and played at your leisure. It's why there are ZERO (0) ports of classic PC games to the arcades.

    I never understood how someone can prefer the genesis version of SF2 over the snes one, only thing the genesis could possible have for it is the 6 button controller, but even there the snes pad is factually better when playing the game.
