Just in Time for Halloween. Battle of the Ports Ghosts'n Goblins

Presume you still had the original GnG release for the C64 there, and not the deluxe complete version released in 2015?

Yep, I don't care for home computers so I didn't know about the remake.

This is the first time I've ever seen this game in action, and it doesn't look too bad. Deffo one I'll be adding to my list to at least give a try.
I got a wave of nostalgia when it got to the SMS version That console has so many memories for me.

The master system was such an underrated machine. It's such a great little 8bit system. The only 8bit that trumps it is the PC Engine.

...If we're living in a universe where the NES/Famicom doesn't exist, then yeah.

In reality, the NES/Famicom are superior to the SMS and it's not close, and I say that as somebody who has a fondness for the Master System as it was the first console I ever played on.

[Yakumo]

For games, yes the NES / Famicom is way ahead but as a console the NES is rather weak. They only way it can do most of the impressive stuff is down to helper chips / mappers on the cartridge. The Master System never made use of any extra chips for hardware performance. If it did, who knows what it could do.

Coulda, woulda, should.

The unfulfilled potential of the SMS is largely down to Sega (as much as Nintendo monopolized the third-party software market to a point at the time).

Like I said, I loved the SMS but there's no way I'm having it over the NES in any scenario, regardless of what its perceived hardware power is/was.
