Battle of the Ports

[Team Andromeda]

The ORIGINAL game was meant to be played multiplayer

I would disagree myself. Just like the loss of the 2 player mode with Magic Sword on the Snes it wasn't a game breaker for me and tbh even in the Arcades I never really played may shooters in 2 player mode only Vs Fighters or racers but everone will have their own views

It came out on both the Snes and MD and it can't be HD as that's been done and also came out on more than 1 console . Its not somthing like Mace The Dark Age ?

Lynx too, but it runs at about 3fps.

I remember that all too well [emoji3]

I had no idea Steel Talons had any home versions! Well you learn something new every day etc...

I thought it only came out on the Mega Drive and Lynx. Had no idea it was released for the SNES.

You should have a look at the Snes version for a laugh . It's utter pants like any 3D polygon type game on the Snes and where the MD totally beats the Snes for polygon graphics

[Yakumo]

I can imagine. All polygon snes games are total ass if there's no extra processing power.

Red Zone is cool on the MD.

Red Zone is cool on the MD.

It looked cool , but I thought the game was overrated and didn't play that great myself

Yeah its nothing special but great tech example.

Another week, another show.

[Mayhem]

A day early? Not complaining mind you heh. Like a number of conversions, I think the C64 version ended up being a rush job. Pretty impressive for the time limits though... imagine if Zach had much longer. He also wrote the Batman movie game, Platoon and Typhoon, all pretty good titles for their time, so he was no slouch coding.

Just thought I'd say, Yakumo, that the Midway Arcade Treasures on PS2 with STUN Runner is an emulated version, and could be considered arcade-perfect. You could re-record your arcade footage using that, if you're unhappy with the footage in the video.

Other than that, great episode again! This was an interesting one for me, as I loved the original arcade game, but also because many of the ports aren't really ports, but rather attempts at re-implementing the same game. It's the polar opposite to Pit-Fighter, where the worst ports would've looked OK in screens but played terribly as they were slavish to the original game.

[Yakumo]

Ah, the problem there is my ps2 isn't chipped so I'd have to buy the game and truth be told I do t like that many of the games on those Atari, midway collections.

It's Saturday so that can only mean an all new Battle of the Ports.
