Capcom: Genesis vs Arcade: how do the ports measure up?

[j_factor]

I have seen Hong Kong multicarts with a "Super Pang" on them. I wonder if that's a hack port of Capcom's Super Pang, a.k.a. Super Buster Bros.?

I have always wondered why there was never a (legit) version of Buster Bros. for any Sega system (mystery copies of Buster Bros. Collection for Saturn notwithstanding). It's not as though Genesis couldn't have handled it or anything. The original was ported to the bloody Amstrad.

Ghouls 'n' Ghosts looks like the arcade version on the Genesis to me

It looks worse and sounds worse if you compare them side to side but you don't really notice because it plays so well and I never have to the time to take in the differences. It is one of my all time favorite Genesis games. Playing with a 6 button or arcade stick is my idea of video game bliss. I even went so far to get a Genesis to Pc controller adaptor so I could pay the arcade version with a 6 button.

What about ghouls n ghosts on pc engine versus megadrive, I have heard both sides say theirs is better. I have genesis version and it is very solid, but im getting lots of pc engine games now as my megadrive collection has almost reached full capacity, and there seems to be a lot of shared games between the two that are better on pc engine, but some are better on sega also.

Well its on SuperGrafx so it loses points right there. It is good and looks better then the Genesis though the music suffers. I like them both.

Sshh! For christ's sake man, don't say that! AirRaidX might hear you...<_< ...>_>....(OH shit)

LMAO, the first thing I thought about when I saw the G&G discussion escalating was AirRaidX, and I was actually expecting someone to chime in on him or perhaps he himself show.

Man..........that guy sure has become infamous over the 'net hasn't he? Ghouls 'N Ghosts and arcade/console comparisons are to AirRaidX what Shadow Dancer is to daminmance.

And I thought I was a bad enough arcade/console/hardware comparisons annoyance.........

[Dirt Ball Gamer]

lol. Anybody heard of the unreleased arcade game called tattoo assasins by data east, theres a write up on i-mockery about it thats hilarious. I kind of want to get it on MAME or something.

This is the best comparison video of G&G for Megadrive and the arcade - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXh0y8IobrQ .

Didn't you notice Arthur's feet as he walks through the grass on the first stage? Cmon

Never heard of AirRaidX. Guess I am an Internet Neophyte.

EDIT: His name is in eBay auctions, so he must be famous.

[Joe Redifer]

Ha ha, gotta love 16-bit. He is a great seller.

[Melf]

IBTN.

16-bit is a great seller. I've bought many a Neo Geo and import game from him. Very nice guy.
