/vr/ - Retro Games

powerslave on console (playstation, saturn) is arguably a better game than the pc original.

in short: they put more content and the game got more polish on the consoles. the pc version is not bad by itself, but its pretty much an off the mill build engine shooter.

Starflight on the genesis is a bit more advanced than the PC version.

overall pcs at 1986 weren't nowhere near the 2D capabilities of the genesis, so they just "souped up" everything in the graphics.

N64 version of Quake 2
SNES version of Wizardry V
SNES version of Drakkhen

Commandos 2

I miss the days when consoles used to be a bit more sophisticated than "PC Lites." They used to be pieces of specifically engineered hardware that would be extremely difficult to replicate on anything else at the time.

>What are some examples of PC game console ports being the best version?
no such thing

Syndicate Wars.

While you're doing all that I've already selected my map and built a megalopolis.

It takes a special kind of retardation to think the snes version is better on SimCity

Flying Toasters for SNES

I can do all that before you're even done blowing on the cartridge.

The PCE version of Might & Magic III had an awesome soundtrack

faggot

It's hard to call it the "best" version because it doesn't have mouse support but Lemmings on SNES is an extremely good port with some extra levels not in the original.

Why would you ever want to play PC slop on a console? Fucking hell

>>9112712
far superior version, that SNES soundchip alone

That's where you're wrong kiddo

>>9112767
Explain? Pretty sure the SNES Lemmings came out before Mario Paint.

>>9112771
Wait shit you're right, I was thinking of Lemmings 2

>>9110414
>I've already selected my map
ok
>and built a megalopolis
the pc player would have build 3 in the time you tried to move your controller around

>>9109737
But which one? PlayStation or Saturn?

>>9112707
Hello newfag.

>>9113084
Not him but you "kino" kids know exactly where you came from, and need to go back.

>>9109712
Sim City is definitely not an example of a game that's better on console
but this game is

>>9112782
Ah yeah I forgot Lemmings 2 was even a thing. Would love a hack of the first game that added mouse support. That would make it the perfect version.

>>9109782
The Genesis was built with off the shelf parts. That Motorola CPU was in everything back in the '80s

>>9110928
you can’t dupe though :(

>>9113246
Only faggots dupe.

>The Genesis was built with off the shelf parts

Except for the video chip which used Sega arcade tech, and was responsible for... everything the system did minus the graphics.

>>9113250
and?

>>9109760

lolno

>>9114635
If you played the N64 version with a mouse, you'd be agreeing with me.

>>9109712
If this had SNES mouse support it would be the definitive version

>>9114635
The missions, music, and gameplay of PC Q2 sucked. The N64 Q2 is a whole different game. And better. Especially the music.

>>9112956
The Saturn version of Powerslave was the best one

>>9111382
This is one of the best PC Engine games I've played. PC autists that are used to zoom through the whole world map in 1/2 a second in dosbox will not like the slower pace of the port but I loved it.

Damn what did they not fucking do in the 80's and 90's, they probably even fucked my mom, and yours too. Hi dad!

>>9109760
Isn't the SNES version of Wiz the one that has a bug that fucks up with the game and leaves it unbeatable?

>>9110851

Yesss..? Go on...
>...to think the snes version is better on SimCity
"snes version is better on SimCity"
A special kind of retardation, indeed!

>>9110928
I liked the Voiced lore Library. It went beyond the Tomes you could find within the dungeon and it set up a world and things that would be referenced way later either in Diablo 2 or even Diablo 3. Plus it had texts and voices in languages other than english. It just lacked in the controls and had obviously no bnet access, but local multiplayer makes kinda up for it.

Good port.

>>9110851
Its way better. The charming ass mayor dude is the shit and the soundtrack is top 10 all time.
