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.

It's the only home port that got the soundtrack right. Otherwise, enjoy your shitty pcm samples.

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 mac you know

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.

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)

I actually haven't played them because Ultima and Wizardry scare me even though I've played tons of other RPGs; but they should be more userfriendly on Famicom

[Anonymous No.10416881]

>>10416876
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.

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.

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

Worst way to play any Ultima.

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.

The only version of RE1 that's fully uncensored is Japanese Saturn version. Not even the PC version with fan patch matches it.

And I really don't get this mentality. If you really enjoy a game, you'll enjoy all the fine differences and nuances of its ports.

>RE on anything but Playstation
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.

>>10415261
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.

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.
