I had Outrun on the Amstrad and remember clearly how my heart sank when I loaded it up. After the initial shock there was this embarrassing phase when I tried to convince myself that I could maybe enjoy this game. So, I put on my Walkman and listened the cassette and pretended I was playing the arcade game I loved so much. It was a pathetic sight. I don’t think I ever felt so low when playing a video game.

Wow, this video is basically my childhood. I finished Double Dragon on C64 up late one night sneakily playing when I shouldn't be. Right after I beat the final boss the game crashed and played a loud digitally distorted sound effect and the jump scare has stuck with me for life. Bruno's boxing on C64 had a cassette for each opponent! Chase HQ was soooo disappointing at the time. I started to learn arcade ports were garbage. You could probably do a good video on crappy games based on movies on early computers. I had a copy of Big Trouble in Little China on C64 and that was soul destorying.

I had Frank Bruno’s boxing. C64 controls were a mix of keyboard and joystick. Left and right on joystick made you dodge left and right. Up and down on joystick moved your gloves between head and body shots. On the keyboard 1 was left jab, 2 was right jab and space was power punch or haymaker whatever you want to call it.

For the original Street Fighter, I have to say I kinda like the USA version on the C64. I got a retail boxed copy of it when it was new and I didn't even realize it had special moves in it until years later, after Street Fighter II hit the arcades. One day I went home and loaded it up to try some stuff and see if fireballs, hurricane kicks and dragon punches were in the game and was shocked to find out they were! They made the game super easy after that, but still cool. I also had the Amiga version which was, of course, a steaming pile of crap. Since it was mentioned below, I do have a soft spot for C64 Outrun, it was the first version of that game I every played. Great music despite missing Passing Breeze.

I only got it to work a couple of times (My ST was very old and had taken some welly) but even when it did work it was a) choppy as hell and b) on a joystick......even had t been silky smooth SF 2 is not a game to play on a Joystick!

I had only recently gotten my Amiga, coming across from a 48K Spectrum, I though the game was perfectly fine. I loved the big bombastic intro, although I was very underwhelmed by the game music itself, and thought the game was good. Of course after that I saw the Lotus trilogy and Jaguar XJ220 and realised how lacking Outrun was and more importantly, they showed how good Outrun could have been on a stock A500.

Chase HQ on the C64 is _interesting_ - it was converted by Teque, who also did the Amiga/ST ports (and obviously converted some of the sprites over in the process). But considering they also did a decent job with Continential Circus, I can't help but wonder what kind of restricted timeline they were on to get it out the door, which is why they ported those Spectrum routines and made a mess of it. Double Dragon is honestly a sad, sad case - it only came out in the last few years it was a 6 week rush job by some darn talented coders (Ash & Dave, who wisely asked to not be credited). It's trash, but you gotta feel for 'em when the deck is stacked against them so much.

I knew about C64 Simpson’s but not Amiga Ninja Gaiden. Regarding your speculation on why the C64 port of Chase HQ was so bad, I wouldn’t have thought it was due to diminishing interest in the C64 from Ocean at the time, since it was no less supported than other platform (with notable games such as Batman the Movie and Midnight Resistance). I think it’s more a case of there being more focus on the Z80 ports (especially as they were better at 3D than the C64) and the poor old 64 was an afterthought and basically got sloppy seconds (or thirds in this case). Either way, it was an insulting port.
