Episode Notes:
1. I used FPGA for the NES, Game Gear, and Game Boy titles. I used emulation for the 2600, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Wonderswan Color footage.
2. I consider Sonic Pocket Adventure second only to the Genesis/Sega CD games.
3. Bonk was also on the Game Boy. In fact, many of these games also had Game Boy versions.
4. I have been exploring the Commodore Amiga a lot in the past year. I want to do a video on it but I have to confess I am finding many of its games to play significantly worse than expected. The deeper I go the lower my opinion goes of it. I'm not sure if it is the fact I never played the games when I was younger or if time has made me less forgiving.
5. Game Boy music always surprises me. It's amazing how good that little chip can sound.
6. Most of these games are super easy to emulate with something like Retroarch. Just download the core, get your game, and go.
7. I found a ton of games that would fit into this type of video for many of Sega's properties. Perhaps I'll focus on some of them if there is a demand for a part 2.

Bonk on NES (FC Genjin on Famicom) is a great port, definitely easier than the PCE/TG16 original, though. Contra 3 was solid on GB. Factor-5 were always a bunch of wizards on whatever hardware they were working on. Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti is a freakin' masterpiece! Easily one of my top ten 8-bit Nintendo titles ever. So much macabre humor and tons of secrets (like a geisha striptease bonus level). Double Dragon on 2600 really is trash, so don't feel too bad there, Sega Lord. And yeah, that Amiga Castlevania was a crime against humanity.

You really NEED to see the ports of Kung-Fu Master (Kung-Fu on the NES) to both the Atari 7800 and the 2600! The 2600 suffers from the game's single button, but it is a real side-scroller game and vastly superior to Double Dragon.

I think your notes on the Amiga are pretty much spot on. Most arcade ports are trash but a lot of the original made for the system games still hold up but they tend not to be arcade style games. Lemmings, The Settlers, Ruff n Tumble, Secret of Monkey Island are all fine. But I find myself rarely playing Amiga games these days even though I grew up with it (but got a snes in 1994) so I have nostalgia of sorts for some of its games but many don’t hold up these days.

@Qba86 4 ай бұрын

Basically there were some developers/publishers that delivered a lot of high-quality original games for the Amiga (Cinameware, Psygnosis, Team 17, Core, Delphine, LucasArts, Gremlin, Microprose). Then there were the companies that specialized in minimal-effort conversions from the arcades and consoles, like US Gold. Worse still, many of said conversions were software ports of minimal-effort conversions for the Atari ST, which itself was a somewhat inferior machine.

The Wonderswan Klonoa game is really solid. So is the demake/port of Devil Dice (XI), Xi Little. Also, fully agree on how good Sonic Pocket Adventure is. The level design is arguably the best in the series, as it fully commits to the hidden puzzle pieces and forces players to master its physics in order to collect them. I think Sonic Mania would have been even better had they done something similar with hidden collectibles.

You're lucky we didn't get it, you would have wasted $40-$50 and lived with regret. It's not fun to play. I can tolerate some bad games, especially those I grew up with, but Woody Woodpecker is infuriating in design and gameplay.

I have a certain fondness for the old school jank of handheld ports. Stuttering seemed to be a common problem for fighting games on the Game Boy and Game Gear (especially the Mortal Kombat ports). While it's frustrating when actually playing, watching it triggers the nostalgia. Speaking of Mortal Kombat games in unexpected places, I would definitely count MK3 on the Game Gear and Master System here. I'm surprised the GG version was only released in Europe and Brazil; I guess they didn't have much confidence in the North American market. The Brazilian release of the SMS version is particularly surprising since it was developed by the same company that made the GG version (just surprised they made the SMS port at this time and then canceled it).

The ZX Spectrum is the poster child for this phenomenon. British devs licensed every Japanese arcade title under the sun for it, but as you saw with Amiga Castlevania, the easy nature of piracy at the time meant ports were churned out fast to get initial week sales then move on to the next thing. But if you want to see some wild stuff, start with the ZX Spectrum Final Fight port (Commodore 64 also got a dodgy one too).

MK2, (and by extension, MK1 and 3 as well), look pretty good despite their jerkyness thanks to the aforementioned use of background tiles. If I'm not mistaken, it was a feature of the Master System and Game Gear to be able to render graphics onto background tiles at a reasonable framerate. Tec Toy would use a similar method for their conversion of Street Fighter II' on the Master System to the same effect; choppy movement, but decent looking graphics.

As a kid, I had a number of console titles that were brought to DOS. I had Mega Man 1 and 3 on DOS and they were absolutely putrid! I also had Golden Axe ported to DOS which wasn't as good as the Genesis version, but they still did an admirable job. I also had Mega Man X for DOS, which also did a respectable job but pretty much is inferior to the SNES version (for example, music quality was not as good and they removed the ride armors for some reason).

There’s an improvement hack for the 2600 Double Dragon.

SLX roasting games is always fun to watch. Castlevania on Amiga certainly deserves it.

Is that a jockstrap on the Chibi Splatterhouse guy's face? Never change Japan.

Nope, but that's really funny! Playing it on my Switch and laughing at all the pop culture references. The main baddie is basically Linus' favorite Halloween hero. A vampire and enthralled zombies do their own Thriller dance. A creature hatches in a lab straight out of The Fly. There's so much to find that I won't spoil the experience.

Double Dragon on the 2600 was news to me. I'm very impressed by the soundtrack!

Altered Beast on Famicom was definitely weird. The Genesis game has always been a guilty pleasure for me, so I was intrigued to see a downgrade port. That jank was strange...
