Battle of the Ports


Recommended Posts

I know only of the SNES original, a PC version, a PS1 version, a Saturn version, it got emulated on MMXC for various consoles, and of course the crappy Sega Mega Drive pirated version.

 

 

Also wasn't Rockman and Forte the true last Rockman game on the SFC, with a 1998 release?

Yes, that is right.  I meant to say X3 was the last X Rockman release on the SFC.

 

New video out today.  Can we finally have some good mobile N64 emulation?

This week I'm covering a game I'm always asked to take a look at.  It's Megaman X3.  There's more ports than you probably knew about.

 

 

Rather interesting how similar later consoles were to the SNES version despite being more advanced. I suppose it shows how much staying power Mega Man had since those systems welcomed 2D Mega Man in spite of focusing more on 3D otherwise.


Speaking of being asked to look at versions of mass-ported games, have there been suggestions to do these:

 

Lode Runner

 

Prince of Persia

 

Shanghai

 

Pipe Dream

 

SimCity

 

Boulder Dash

 

I also know you looked at Dragon's Lair before, but not really one that looks at the differences between versions, or is there no intention to do a video like that for the game at all?

Ah, Lode Runner and Prince of Persia... two games that started on my favorite platform and actually went somewhere ?

Prince of Persia is one I would love to cover on Battle of the Ports.  My favorite version is the SFC / SNES release.

 

New video up today.  Mostly about the phone but I also cover some gaming in the video.

I appreciate the review.  Looks to be a bit of winner, though Anbernic's quality on this device seemingly could be a bit better.

It sure isn't their best hardware.  I mean, they go to the effort of using a Samsung OLED but everything else is just average.

 

New video today.  We are going all modern, well kind of. This week on Battle of the ports is Rayman 2.

A game that is based upon an unreleased arcade ?

 

 

We looked into this one on GTW

It's more than likely just a concept that never received approval. 

 

The cabinet appears to be a modified Afterburner II cabinet. 

 

 

There were a number of failed attempts to use Amiga and ST hardware to produce cheap Arcade machines.
