crap, I posted this in the wrong board, but anyway

Daikatana in the GameBoy color is a surprisingly decent game. Any other ports better than the original?

it's not *better* than the original, but i'd argue that the GBC Perfect Dark is just as good as the N64 game, at least on a singleplayer basis.

Hellfire is better on the Genesis than the arcade since it actually has LESS slowdown and it gives you a 1-hit shield, bombs and an AI helper to make things more interesting.

Amiga ports of Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back made a number of enhancements to the Atari ST original.

The most functional change is just being able to drink directly from fountains, instead of having to fill/use waterskin. Keeping your party fed/hydrated is kind of a big deal in this game, so anything to streamline that process is good. The extra sounds for real/fake wall detection, and monsters moving is nice also.

Speaking of ports.
Quite a while back I saw a youtube video of Duke Nukem 3D on the Gameboy. It made me question all reason since it was so bad, now I can't find it at all. I was shown at some convention, I believe.
Youtube only seems to find the Duke Nukem Gameboy Color port.

the graphics werent as good but the way it let you upgrade your plane and choose what kind of powerups you'd come across, along with more stages really made it into something more than just a fast arcade port.
