Battle of the Ports - Action Fighter

Great video Yakumo (subscibed), I actually like the Master System version the best to be honest but again it is easily the version I have played the most.
The ZX Spectrum has a place in my heart and it is quite a surprise to see monochrome especially when you see how colourfull Spy Hunter was on the system.

Ah this game brings back so many gaming memories, that screechy Master System music is branded on my soul. It was a shame you didn't show any footage of the car and plane modes from the MS and home computer versions but other than that top mark's on the show. I didn't know it was an arcade port either.

[Yakumo]

Ah, I wanted to but I'm really bad at the game. I just can't play it these days. I think I'm getting slow in my old age. I'll be 39 this November

it sure does. I remember being given very impressed with it when I played it on a real game gear back in 1998.

Glad you rated PCE FFS. I think you seem to like the system a lot more than you used to which is great.

Nah, I've always liked the PC Engine but I still think that Devil Crash and Aero Blasters just to name two are better on the Mega Drive. The PC Engine is a great system though. Just Bought a few more titles for it from a junk auction on Yahoo. Best thing is that once the games were swapped to new cases they looked brand new. I'll post a picture in the buys thread in a few minutes.

Aero Blasters is probably better on the MD, but Devil Crash is debatable - it feels like it plays better on the PCE.

Show 35 - Battle of the Ports - Smash TV (with voiceover & Text Bar!)

You should perhaps give the C64 version another shot... it's actually a pretty decent conversion, it's a SINGLE load (quite amazing given the scale of the game) and you can use two joysticks for dual move/shoot action! It's what I did when playing the game back when it came out. But yes, you're not going to play it today over the SNES or MAME versions...

I did like the C64 version more than the ZX version but playing with the keyboard didn't help. I will go back and give it another try at some point. I liked the fake sounding speech effects in the game
