Far too many obvious choices (i.e. Pac-Man, SF, MK, et al) so maybe a comparison on Spy Hunter (arcade vs C64 and NES) would be nice... ...or you could pull out the stops and compare the arcade and Switch versions of Cruisin' Blast, but that may be a bit much. Switch may be too recent for the Sack...

@@chrisjones6868 You have some time to safely change two colors on hblank. There are some tricks that will make room for more colors: if you disable the display, change about 15/16 colors doing a DMA which is the fastest transfer, and then re enable display then no sprite data will be fetched by the vdp on hblank, giving you some extra access slots to change those more colors, but you will be limiting the sprite quantity avalaible for that line.

The MVS version of Samurai Shodown also has the white blood, it is an option in softdip, just so happens "blood" is on by default in the MVS version, and the softdip settings are not accessable on the first game for AES. If you play the home cart on a Japan AES the blood is red by default, the AES and MVS carts use 100% identical ROM chips. Put an AES US or Euro BIOS chip into an MVS (or use a UniBIOS and set the MVS machine onto AES and either US or Euro region) and the blood will be white. Samurai Shodown 2 had an option screen on the AES mode, so you could set the game to Japan region in order to have the red blood, instead of the green blood you got with the blood softdip option turned off.

I really like seeing comparisons to different home ports, because it helps narrow down the selection of games when looking for roms. Thanks to this video, I've ended up settling with Truxton on the Sega Genesis, King of the Monsters 2 on Neo Geo and Chiki Chiki Boys on the Sega Genesis.

Nice video, thank you. Juste one thing : Samurai Shodown on the AES « technically » has blood. Like many others games, it is the console region that determine this. If you play with a japanese Neo Geo and japanese text, whatever the cartridge version is, you will always get blood (and also some violent finish move like cutting your opponent in half). This explain why some conversions that you showed have blood. Also you can still play with blood and a non japanese Neo-Geo, but for this, you will need to modify the console by adding the Universe Bios that allowed the console to emulate different regions.

Since the Neo Geo Home console and the arcade MVS board feature an identical chipset, there is nothing to port.] Also the Mega Drive port of SS decompresses its assets on the fly, which might explain the weird pixel artefacts on screen.

I was not aware of Truxton until Classic Game Room. When I tried it, it really resonated with me and I ended up loving it for its gameplay and presentation. There's definitely something special about it for me. I agree, the arcade version is way too hard for me. One of the things I love about the home ports, the MD/Genesis more since it came first, is they solidified the iconic image of the skull bomb. Shockingly, in the arcade, the skull is only on screen for a brief moment. I can barely see it in that version. It's a case where the limitations of the home systems led to a big improvement in presentation. As for the two home versions, each one has pros and cons. PCE version's sound effect for the green laser is a bit shrill. For the Sega version, bullets can be hard to see on the final stage. I play both versions on easy and it's still plenty hard. On easy, the PCE version starts off harder, but ramps up more slowly. The Sega version starts easier, but the difficulty picks up a lot more. By stages four and five, the difficulty feels very close. I like them both.
@Prizrak-hv6qk7 ай бұрын
There is something special about those classic Toaplan shooters. The art is kind of awkward, there aren't a lot of special effects and they generally seem a bit plain at first. But, give them a chance and they always win you over with their addictive gameplay. They are good at getting you "in the zone", like good shmups tend to do. Plus, their music got progressively better and more addictive, especially on the Mega Drive. Zero Wing's Stage 2 (Legrous) is just sublime and way better than the generic arranged version on the PCE Super-CD. Hellfire got some absolute bangers too. This makes me want to take another run at the Toaplan catalog. :)

Joe - did you know you are missing a part on how you play King of the monsters. You know you power up? first hold down a button *can't remember which - and a horn will grow out of the godzilla character; which you can throw. When you power up you can hold punch or one of the other buttons and he will do something else. On the third power up the last button does something else again. You have to hold them down for about 5 secs The gorilla robot seems to have the best power up - he chops in half on the third power up and flies around smashing up stuff whilst invincible. (Mega drive clip shows this) Try it!! This makes the game much easier but you can't get hit whilst powering up. That's why they put power down icons in the game to take away your moves.

Ports of arcades were always mixed bag. That being said the really good ones stand out for sure.

Heavy Gratitude. Ps SNK made an amazing baseball game called Baseball All Stars for the NES , I don't know if it was ever an arcade game though.
