Played all of these plus pic related. We had a PC but the only games we had (that weren't shareware, anyways, we had shareware discs for days) were Ultimate/Doom 2 and the Dino version of Sonic CD (which is actually a reverse thread example as I've never owned a Sega CD).

Doom GBA was actually pretty good - it definitely wasn't PSX tier, but out of the Jaguar-based ports I think it holds up the best (but still suffers from the fact that Doom feels so wrong to play with a d-pad).

When I was a kid, I briefly owned Doom 32x; I was 4 or 5 and we had a Genesis. I didn't know what a 32x was, I just thought that if Madden could have the big weird carts and the NES could have weird shaped black carts that it wouldn't matter since it said SEGA on it. I took it home to find that it didn't fit and didn't play in my console. In retrospect I'm pretty glad I didn't have a 32x.

I played the shit out of this, and when I finally got a PC, it couldn't run the PC version because it was for windows 95/98 only and I had Windows 2000. It did lead me to discover Tiberian Sun though, and then get in to modding because I only had the demo and dissected all the files to find out what things did (They were in plaintext for the most part).

The good console ports are the ones that add in new content to make up for whatever is lost by not being on PC, like a few new levels or something. Gives them something novel, a reason to try them out even if you have the original.

And then in a lot of cases we can mod that shit into the PC version later, so everyone benefits.

As a Playstation fag, I'd like to think that developers knew you couldn't really do extreme scale and distances, or at least not without some major sacrifices or major re-engineering. PS1 is very situational, you need the camera to play favorably like Crash or isometric or a good reason for fog. With N64 you can water down the texture and music quality as much as you need or replace FMVs with static slideshows, but with PS1 you have roadblocks right away in its foundation.

The N64's specs and four controller ports made it easy to adapt most computer games to the system.

A huge thing you have to remember is that for a while the PS1 didn't even have an analog stick on its controller and you needed a peripheral to have more than two people playing multiplayer.

The N64 was the most powerful console back in the day compared to the playstation and saturn not only that but all consoles had 4 controller ports so it easier for multiplayer as not everyone had a multitap back then (i remember only 1 time using one).

I was from no-vidya-allowed family, but all my buddies at school were console gamers so I only ever heard about console games and console ports. Command & Conquer: Red Alert was one of the most talked/played games among my friends, and for the longest time I had no idea that it was a port or that RTS games were even a computer gaming thing.

Now that I think about it years later I find it amusive how naive I was. Not that there is anything wrong with playing RTS on a console, it's just so much more natural on computer.

I recently played it and the final "bosses" were anticlimactic and somewhat disappointing. shame.

original command & conquer on the n64 was shit, but back then I didn't know any better. the campy cutscenes are integral to the game and the control stick simply isn't suited for rts.

Uh, all of them. We had computers but they were always shit for games so whenever we'd get games they would run at like 5 FPS, so I had to settle for the console versions. Onl exception was Doom, because of course Doom worked.

I remember getting Half Life and Half Life 2 in a package deal once and our Dell(or was it HP?) Desktop we got in 2003 couldn't run either of them without chopping up, and if I tried to adjust the graphical detail the game would crash. Good times.

other than doom 64 & half life decay what else got an unofficial PC port and what else hasn't?

I'm willing to bet you couldn't. Comp mode was a regex only thing in 2000 and it mostly was intended for business software.

SimEarth for SNES.

It had some nice presentation in some ways, like SimCity for SNES did, but also like SimCity, it suffered badly from the low speed of the console's CPU. Unlike SimCity, it also suffered badly, I guess, from limits on the size and/or read/write speed on the in-cartridge battery-backed memory, to such an extent that even though saving your game took forever, it still apparently had to be lossy. That is, it would save the layout of the land and the numbers of creatures, but not the POSITIONS of creatures, so that when you loaded your game everything would be scrambled everywhere. If I remember right. It frickin sucked.

I still found a way to like the game somehow, despite the fact that the main thing you do in it is wait.

I'm well aware of the Half-Life 1 cancelled port for Dreamcast.

It was something particular to the N64, not Nintendo. The N64 was the unquestionably superior system when it came to 3D capabilities, so it was the platform of choice for console FPS. Games like Turok and Perfect Dark weren't exclusives just by choice, but because the PSX could never handle such games.

Not gonna lie, I want to believe it's because Playstation was too retarded so the games flocked to the competitor. Cameras with high FOV and close distance to surfaces like first person pronounces a lot of texture warping unless you invest a lot of polygons subdividing everything, but you blow your polygon budget and can't do large distances and detailed first person models. There are some exceptions like Quake 2. N64 can render these things no problem, it just so happens that the textures look like poop and ships with analog. This is why PS1 had a shit ton of isometric games like JRPGs because it completely avoided these camera vs warping issues. Same deal happened with PS3 losing a lot of things to Xbox 360 because it went full retard.

>PS1 version stays at 30 fps
Nope, this is an often repeated lie about the overhyped PS1 version (though it is an impressive port for what it is). All it takes is an encounter with a couple of enemies to send its framerate tumbling down.

The N64 version looks laggier mostly because the animation lacks keyframe interpolation and movement speed is lower. It also has framepacing issues which gives it a bit of a stuttery look. However, it also drops fewer frames in moments of intensity. It rarely shits itself completely like the PS1 version does in a few areas.

As for Forsaken on PS1, a 60 FPS framecap is not the same thing as 60 FPS. Idiots basically loaded up Forsaken on a PS1 emulator, saw that it reported 60 FPS and go "woahhh it must be 60 FPS". Except on the real console it very rarely goes that high. IIRC Banjo-Tooie also has a 60 FPS framecap, and we all know how rarely that game hits that target (if ever).

Well there's one well known N64 game out there that has a 60 FPS framecap but actually runs under 30 FPS most of the time. Maybe it's not Tooie, but it's out there.

Forsaken isn't that bad, but it's more like 40 FPS most of the time rather than 60 FPS.

It's not literally a PC. It's similar, but it has a custom GPU, a custom sound DSP, a weird video encoder setup, a weird boot process, and a lot of the tech that's in it is still covered by NDAs because Nvidia are a bunch of fucking cunts who are too pussy to release information on ancient products.

The IBM PC architecture is kind of a specific thing, and having an x86 processor doesn't equal architectural compliance.

Actually now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I bought the game from a reseller like most of my Dreamcast games, since I didn't have a CD burner either. You would get a list of available games, submit the order and like $2 a disc, and a week later receive a stack of games.

This is actually my favorite version of the game -- and I didn't play it until last year. It plays like a dream on the N64 controller, and the colored lighting is way, way more appealing than the muddy browns and greys of the PC release. Also, the lack of the hub area by which you access levels was not missed, it made the game flow together more nicely. Even if it wasn't an original game in the vein of DOOM 64, and was missing a few of the PC levels, I still love this shit.

Yeah you should, it's right up there with Perfect Dark as one of my favorite shooters. Unlike the PC release, it's colorful as fuck, and it actually plays really well thanks to a surprisingly good framerate, the ability to remap all buttons (so you can play wih d-pad to move and analog to aim), and you can even turn the "blur" filter off. Great fucking port.

Played this back in the day, and even then I was baffled at this port. Wanna play a 1997 PC space combat sim six years late on hardware a hundred times weaker and with only four buttons? That said, it's actually decent from what I remember. It looked pretty good and the simplified engine made it feel like the first Wing Commander so it ended up being a kind of throwback. I think it even had multiplayer, which the PC version didn't.

Wrong, q3 was very demanding for its time,one of the first games to requiere a 3d accelerator and AFAIR the dc port uses a renderer made from scratch for it.
If you look at id homebrew ports on the dc you will see that quake 2 barely runs and that there is no quake 3, apparently it cannot even start due to the lack of RAM.
