It's really not better than EVO on SNES, in comparison is very basic with its evo mechanic. It's also a traditional turn-based RPG instead of side-scroller action, but it is super comfy, as the sequel is. Plot is way crazier though.

EVO on SNES is not a stripped down version of anything, it's a reimagining if anything, of the Japan-only 46 Okunen Monogatari: The Shinka Ron (The Adventure of 46 Million Years: The Theory of Evolution), for PC-98, released in 1990.
The SNES game is called 46 Okunen MonogatarI: Harukanaru Eden E (The Adventure of 46 Million Years: To the far Eden).
They're pretty different games, starting from the fact that the PC-98 game is a traditional RPG with top-vied and turn-based combat, and the SNES game is a side-scroller action RPG. The plot is also different, very different in both of them, as is the evolution mechanic.
The PC-98 game is much more simple wit its evolution mechanic, so I wouldn't really say that the SNES one is a stripped down version or sequel, quite the contrary, it's a huge improvement, as you can actually evolve individual parts of your body and customize your own creatures, in the PC-98 game, there's just 4 options (defence, offence, intelligence and resistance, IIRC), and the kind of creature you get depends on how you distribute the EVO points between these 4 stats.
Still, both games are worth playing, if you like the atmosphere of one of them, you will definitely like the atmosphere in the other, even though they're quite different. The PC-98 game actually gets a bit sidetracked with the whole prehistoric theme, and introduces mythological ancient civilizations like Atlantis and Mu. The SNES game keeps it more topical to just prehistoric beasts and early homo sapiens, although there is also some fantasy elements (dragons, wyverns, UFOs), but the later chapters of PC-98 EVO are just pure fantasy creatures, like you will be probably fighting the final boss with some weird humanoid reptilian or something like that.
