I'm curious as I am fairly new to the topic so i have to ask, how many of the games on that list that can be considered as good or superior to their arcade counterparts?

In my opinion a fair few. Without going through the whole list and breaking it down, I would say Two Crude Dudes, Atomic Runner, Gauntlet, Slap Fight MD, Hellfire, Zero Wing, Darius II, Mercs, Darwin 4081, Snow Bros, the Puyo Puyo games, and Insector X are all as good or superior to their arcade counterparts. A lot of others have elements that are better than the originals like improved soundtracks even if the overall ports are not quite on par (Midnight Resistance, Strider, Vapor Trail).Quote:
