What were the best ones?

[Anonymous No.10640454]

Ghouls n' Ghosts

[Anonymous No.10640465]

Atomic Runner Chelnov is better than the arcade.

Why in the hell did they not make an alien syndrome port for the genesis, I know there’s a master system one

Alien Storm I think is peak arcade port for genesis. The game was contemporary and playing it you don't really suspect anything is missing so I think it is one of the closest ports. Putting it side by side you notice the arcade has a fair bit more detailed graphics but I suspect a lot of people wouldn't notice because of the artwork.

Then amiga got it, should have ported outrunners to saturn and power drift to mega drive.

Gauntlet

Strider is a terrible port. I used to hate Strider. After I've played the arcade version, turns out I actually love it.
>>10640454
Yeah, new control is a nice addition.

Golden Axe was pretty good for its time. Same goes for Altered Beast.

Is there a single arcade port the Snes didn't do better?

>snow bros (extra levels)
>slap fight (new mode)
>chelnov (looks way nicer)
>fatal fury 2 (has a bunch of tweaks that make it pretty fun, including easier desperations and turbo speed)
>>10642353
the joe and mac port is much more arcade accurate on genesis. it has a bunch of weird changes on the snes
i feel like outside of fighting games, snes didnt get a ton of arcade ports

Altered Beast is still fun today, and at the time it was amazing to see something like that at home.

Super Hang-On
My go-to on the 6-pac when player 2 had to do something else

[Anonymous No.10644382]

Super Hang-On
My go-to on the 6 pac for when 2 player Streets of Rage or Golden Axe wasn't available

Bonanza Bros. is an excellent port and an overall excellent video game, alone, but especially with a buddy. Its only major issue is the theme, where you play as robbers, I tried playing it with my GF a few weeks after her house had been broken in by robbers while she was at work, and they took so much of her stuff... needless to say I didn't read the mood well, and she wasn't amused at all too.

The recent port of Final Fight for the stock Genesis is damn near arcade perfect.

These and pic related.
Roadblasters is another one that came close to the arcade.

[Anonymous No.10644654]

This, not the dogshit EA version

There's a huge difference graphically. Still had fun playing the Genesis iteration.

>Bonanza Bros. is an excellent port
it's good but id recommend the pc engine version over it
it came out a couple years later so it has more accurate graphics, the 2 missing levels and redbook audio

Not a Genesis game but I thought the Master System port of Shinobi was better than the arcade version. You got four different weapons, the bombs were actually interesting, and the different melee weapons were interesting too. The best part was how you could get ninja magic that could do more than just kill all the bad guys on screen. The only trouble is I never got good at killing the ninjas in the shooting gallery or triggering the ninja magic during the levels even though I read the manual over and over again.

>PCE doesn't have SEGA art in the museum level
MD still superior

[Anonymous No.10646590]

I was going to include the Genesis Mini version, but the Extra Edition blows that out of the water
>all the sound issues from the Genesis Mini version are fixed
>just like the Genesis Mini version, it includes all the bosses from the arcade version, plus the bosses from Darius 2 and Super Darius.
>includes all three versions of the game (Old, New and Extra)
>there are now three versions of the Boss Rush based on each version of the game.
>added continues
>you can now shoot your main weapon and drop bombs with the same button, as well as adjust autofire rate

Have you actually played Strider? I’m not gonna say I don’t love it, but that’s because I held a gun to my head to get intimate with it. It’s a piece of shit port lmfao, like bruh it’s ridiculous a completely ridiculous fucking game.

[Anonymous No.10646661]

>>10646590
how many new versions of Darius are there wtf

[Anonymous No.10646686]

The Genesis Extra port is the most recent one, since it was released three years ago on cartridge and last year for PS4 and Switch.

Love the artwork on this.

I'd argue Golden Axe - while lacking a few cool visual things like the transitions between stages or Death Adder transforming from snakes - is actually superior to the arcade version

>Tyris now wears a thong
>Tighter enemy AI and encounters. It's largely the same but fights are just a little more intense and claustrophobic and it feels a bit more satisfying to master
>Tyris now wears a thong
>The new final stage actually rounds out the game nicely, adding a nice finalie with lots of environmental hazards and a final boss that - while a bit cheap - pushes the games mechanics to their limits and is always a rush to take down
>Tyris now wears a thong.

Other things I think I'm forgetting, but it overall it feels like they traded in some of those arcade visuals for a little more gameplay polish.

>>10641405
Good question, i like that game. >>10642164
This mustve ate a lot of quarters at the arcade.
>>10649758
That entire 3ds package was awesome! Why we didnt get the other two compilations is a crime.
