Worst arcade port to a home console

[treismac]

*Sorry if this thread has been done before.* :oops:

Was there an arcade game that you loved dearly that broke your heart when it was miserably converted to home console?

For me, there was Bad Dudes on the NES. Dearly did I love the arcade version, and eagerly did I await its arrival to my Nintendo. O' what joy would be found as I sat before my glowing television with my faithful NES controller in hand as Bad Dudes left the local arcade to take up residence in my very own Nintendo (that I actually shared with my brother). Sadly, as was often the case, the game I cherished and enjoyed so dearly was butchered terribly by a combination of poor programming and inferior technology. A loss of graphic fidelity is to be expected when an arcade game was squeezed into a NES cartridge, but the flickering game play rendered the game unplayable like drunken night time frisbee. Oh... and forget playing with your friend. There was a two player mode, but you had to take turns rather than fight back to back. Horrible. Probably the single most disappointing gaming experience I suffered on the venerable gray box of plastic.

[Emperor Megas]

I could talk about those all day. Man, some of those NES arcade ports were the worst. One of the things I hated the most was the way that they'd make a completely different game sometimes. It wasn't always a bad game, but I'd always be disappointed that it wasn't the arcade version at all. They'd even write shit like "the arcade hit" on the box sometimes or in the ads sometimes.

Rygar was the one that really got my goat, because it was one of my all time favorite arcade games, but it was a totally different game on the NES though. The NES version is what most people think about when you say Rygar, and everyone loved it. But I wanted my arcade port.

I thought that Double Dragon on the NES was pretty terrible too, with the whole collecting hearts thing.

Pac-Man for the Atari 2600; I don't even have to go there.

[Baloo]

Really hard to say, as so many 80s arcade games got awful ports on Atari 2600 and the other systems of the time.

[InsaneDavid]

Considering arcade to NES comparisons has been my shtick at Retrogaming Times Monthly since 2004 (http://www.classicplastic.net/dvgi/publications-RTMmain.html), I'd say 720 Degrees for the NES.

It's complete garbage, really.

[sfchakan]

I bought this one game called Time Killers for the Sega Genesis. There's no way that the arcade game was that shitty! It was real bad, man!

[Leo_A]

Many classic era home ports of Outrun fall into this category. I've played some horrible renditions of Outrun over the years.

[retroguy]

I don't know, I wasn't too impressed with the arcade game. It's about ten times gorier than Mortal Kombat, but aside from that, there's not much of interest. But then, I don't play a lot of fighting games, so what do I know?

[Dangerboy]

I think it's more important to bring in the "how close is the arcade hardware to the home console" to fully appreciate the task at hand. Obviously the early days would be pretty rough, but some of the worst offenders are in the later day systems. SNK absolutely butchered Samurai Shodown III when it hit PlayStation 1, Mortal Kombat 1 on the Super NES lost any and all play control, etc.

Though truth be told, SNK censoring the blood on Sam Sho 1 and KoF 95 on their own hardware was a huge crime.

[RPG_Fanatic]

I'd say 720 Degrees for the NES.
It's complete garbage, really.

I was going to say the same game. I remember waiting for this game to come out and when it did I bought it since I loved the arcade game. Opened it up and put it in my NES and I just thought this game is SHIT!!!!!!!!

[Greg2600]

Had it come out, Pit Fighter for the Atari 7800. Since this one actually did, Pit Fighter for the SNES.

[Ro-J]

Frogger for the SNES is the worst arcade port I've ever played....and is the only game released for both the 2600 and the SNES in which the 2600 version is superior.

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

The NES version of Paperboy is IMO, a horrendous port of the arcade version and I've always had a hard time understanding why people seem to have some type of affinity for it. I suppose nostalgia + rose tinted glasses + having never actually played the arcade version on the original arcade hardware has a lot to do with it, but seriously the NES version is just awful in comparison.

[jammajup]

The NES version of Paperboy is IMO, a horrendous port of the arcade version

Its not all that bad to be honest,but i think the nes color palette does not quite fit the game as we know it.

[RCM]

I felt burned by the Saturn port of Mortal Kombat II. I remember asking a Babbages employee if it was arcade perfect and she responded "completely." It was a dripping mess, and to add insult to injury, the Ultimate Mortal Kombat III port was much better.

I've purchased MKII for several consoles over the years (Genesis, SNES, Saturn, 32X, Xbox, PS2, PSP) and still haven't received a 100% perfect version. I have yet to try the new compilation released a little while ago for 360 and PS3 and hope my search will finally end.

That's always the stock response, but I can't think of a single redeeming quality.

The graphics are atrocious, the music is laughably bad, the controls are infuriating, the scrolling is painful.

I think it's right on par with 720 in terms of Mindscape murdered conversions, yet it continues to get passes from the public that I'll never understand.

[Ze_ro]

Pretty much every home port of Congo Bongo has been terrible... but especially the 2600 and INTV versions (Arguably, neither system had any business attempting it in the first place, but still).

Also, Toki on Genesis. Toki is one of the few games where almost every home port is GOOD (hell, even the Lynx version is excellent), and there's no reason the Genesis version couldn't have been perfect... but they changed all the levels and completely ruined it.

[treismac]

Street fighter (the first) for pc
dear god, pain

Wow. I struggle to imagine the original Street Fighter being any worse than it already was at the arcade. Sure, you could downgrade the graphics but how could the game play be made more horrendous than it already was? Any success with pulling off a move felt like the result of pure chance. For whatever reason, I actually like the horrible digitized voice overs. If, hypothetically, those were lost, the game would be irredeemable.

I'm going to hunt on YouTube for a video of the PC version. How could that game be even crappier than it already was?

[staxx]

Ok this may be unfair but still...Dragons Lair on the NES. What a garbage, sure I can't expect a direct arcade port but at least make a playable game.

Plus on the C64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, Atari ST tons of crappy arcade ports. Pretty much anything by US Gold...bleh

It really boils down to the fact that just about every port of every Mortal Kombat game is absolute junk. :|

Don't bother with 1, 2, 3, or UMK3 on Genesis, they're all bad. Mortal Kombat II on Playstation and Saturn is terrible. All forms of MKT are a glitchfest, as are the ports of UMK3 on Saturn and SNES. MK1 for SNES is bad for obvious reasons. And I swear every port of Mortal Kombat decides to ax half the sounds from the arcade.

The only port that might actually be half-decent of a Mortal Kombat game is MKII for the 32x, and even that's not as good as it could be.

Stick with the arcade, don't waste your time on any of the shitty home ports really.

I'm going to hunt on YouTube for a video of the PC version. How could that game be even crappier than it already was?My friends and I were Street Fighter fiends BITD (the 6 button conversion, not the 'two huge pressure buttons' original). We didn't have much trouble with the special moves, but there were a lot of people who weren't good at the game who'd just shake the joystick and hammer away at the buttons and hope that an uppercut would happen.

Heck, I had trouble for YEARS doing non-charging special moves in Street Fighter II because I didn't realize that they weren't done like the original motions in the the first Street Fighter.

[stargate]

Pac Man for the 2600 was a massive dissapointment. Talked my grandmother into buying it for me and was super excited to play it. It sucked.

[buzz_n64]

Double Dragon for the Atari 2600, complete shit!

[Kitsune Sniper]

Though truth be told, SNK censoring the blood on Sam Sho 1 and KoF 95 on their own hardware was a huge crime.

I think that was due to pressure from watchdog groups. Remember, Mai didn't uh, bounce either.

[treismac]

Double Dragon for the Atari 2600, complete shit!

I never knew that Double Dragon found its way to the 2600! Wow, how bizarre. I just checked it out on YouTube and it looks more like a misguided sequel to Keystone Capers than Double Dragon.

[The Dord]

Pan Man for the 2600 was a massive dissapointment. Talked my grandmother into buying it for me and was super excited to play it. It sucked.

Why haven't I heard of pan man? Is it a cooking game for the 2600 like Fast Food?

After Street Fighter II, I never struggled pulling off any moves in the series. Perhaps the original Street Fighter arcade game I played at the movie theater had banjaxed controls. I think the choppiness of the animation turned me off too much to really try to get a handle on the game.

While I don't flat out hate the NES port, I do agree that it just isn't good (http://www.classicplastic.net/dvgi/publications-RTMnescadePaperboy.html). It's just so alien compared to the arcade original, playable or not. It's always been passable to me as a mediocre NES game, however since the arcade original was awesome, being mediocre at home carries with it a heavier connotation to most.

Yeah, your review is right on.

I suppose at the end of the day the NES game isn't broken, but it's a pale lifeless interpretation of one of the most colorful, original and fun arcade games of that era.

Thankfully decent home versions did follow (Lynx, Genesis, PS1, 360)

[kirin jensen]

I like the Odyssey2. It has some surprisingly good arcade ports (Turtles, Q*bert and Frogger). But hands down Popeye for the O2 is one of the worst arcade-to-home conversions ever released.

[WoodyXP]

Double Dragon for the Atari 2600, complete shit!

Horrible game, but a technical marvel, IMO.

[aryoshi]

The NES version of Alien Syndrome by Tengen never sat well with me. Pit Fighter on the SNES really takes the cake though, that's a piece of shit inside and out, upside and down. It's really hard to believe it's supposed to be a port. I have another one, actually, that most may disagree with, but I think I also have to add Double Dragon on the NES. I've played both the arcade and NES versions and the NES one simply doesn't do it for me, I liked the second much better. I do also agree with the PC port of Street Fighter, that was god-awful.

[thegamezmaster]

Many classic era home ports of Outrun fall into this category. I've played some horrible renditions of Outrun over the years.

I agree with you. Car goes all over the road. That's my main gripe with most driving games. They don't handle like they should or don't control like real cars do. Just my opinion. Or any game that makes you feel like your running in mud.

[Vlcice]

It's not the WORST arcade port ever, but I was really disappointed by the Saturn version of Groove on Fight. They tried to cram it into the 1 meg RAM cart, and it doesn't fit at ALL. They slashed the animation worse than some of the Capcom ports that didn't use any RAM expansion - enough animation is missing it feels like it hurts the gameplay. The backgrounds were cut down as much as they could manage, too. And the physics feel wrong - don't know if that's because of the animation? Either way, it's a much worse game than the arcade version because of it. And it was released just a few months before the 4 meg RAM cart came out. If they'd just waited a little bit...

[Drixxel]

Xenophobe on NES was one that really let me down, having been a big fan of the arcade game. Tiny sprites, bland visuals, few playable characters, and, most offensively, a lack of the arcade original's distinctive aiming control. As well, Altered Beast on SMS is quite the unfortunate arcade port - the severe choppiness to the game makes it feel like a joke.

[Kiddo]

A lot of PC ports of arcade games were terrible.
TMNT: The Arcade Game for DOS is a good example;

[treismac]

... I think I also have to add Double Dragon on the NES. I've played both the arcade and NES versions and the NES one simply doesn't do it for me, I liked the second much better.

I am so with you. I LOVED Double Dragon on the arcade and I have many cherished memories of my older cousin, Brandon, and me riding our bikes to the local Circle K to play it during the summer. The NES version, however, failed to capture anything of the original. While not a horrible game in its own right, it is a poor, poor attempt at recapturing the magic that the arcade version possessed. You're also right about the second NES one being a marked improvement on the series' NES installments. Technos eventually gave us River City Ransom so I can forgive them for this blunder.

I think if it wasn't for being an arcade game and they simply made it on consoles, the NES version wouldn't be so blah, but compared to the arcade version it doesnt' even hold a candle, it's so bare-bones and feels.. wrong. I agree, River City Ransom is where they really took off. Nothing I didn't like about that game and everything about it I loved.

Yeah, Ikari Warriors 2 sucked on the NES but the arcade version of Victory Road wasn't that good either.

[heybtbm]

I thought that Double Dragon on the NES was pretty terrible too, with the whole collecting hearts thing.

These are the two that stick out in my mind.

Pac-man was a huge disappointment. At least to my 5th grade eyes at the time. Thank god it came free with the system.

Double Dragon was (is) my favorite arcade game in the late 80's and I couldn't wait to finally get a copy for the NES. During the Christmas of 1988 the game was impossible to find in stores. I managed to trade a copy of Legend of Kage to my cousin for DD. The NES version was (obviously) a shadow of it's arcade counterpart.

It was one of the main reasons I jumped on the Genesis bandwagon a few months later when it launched. "Enough of these half-assed arcade ports, I want the real thing." Looking back, the Genesis was still nowhere near arcade perfect...but at the time it felt like it.

[treismac]

"Enough of these half-assed arcade ports, I want the real thing." Looking back, the Genesis was still nowhere near arcade perfect...but at the time it felt like it.

I remember feeling the same way with the advent of the 16 bit systems. With Street Fighter II on the SNES, I clearly remember thinking, "Here we are. The arcade has arrived at home. Finally." Of course it hadn't, but like you wrote, "at the time it felt like it".

[Greg2600]

If you guys don't like Double Dragon on NES, which I still like, have you played the Sega Master System, Atari 7800, or Atari 2600 versions (each progressively worse)?

[ubersaurus]

No mention of Donkey Kong for Intellivision? That was an abomination.

I also have to complain about every home port of Space Wars I've ever played for getting the physics wrong.

[TurboGenesis]

sure NES Paperboy may not be up to your 'arcade' standards, but I find the game decent and quite playable… I do not attempt to measure it to the arcade game as NES is weaker hardware AND there not being a way to duplicate the control set up that the arcade game featured…

and here is a sure fire way for you to maybe appreciate the NES Paperboy…
try and play the Sega Master System version… you will then truly discover what a BAD Paperboy game really is! horrible collision detection, sloppy controls, and core gameplay elements essential to Paperboy omitted! sure, it looks good and the colors are pleasent… but that's not enough to save it... and I am a HUGE fan of SMS, but I'll play - and ENJOY NES Paperboy 7 days a week over the garbage SMS Paperboy

[thom_m]

The DOS version of The Simpsons arcade game was a huge disappointment for me:

[Emperor Megas]

Yeah, Ikari Warriors 2 sucked on the NES but the arcade version of Victory Road wasn't that good either.You think? Man, I freaking LOVE Victory Road (the arcade game). Most people can't fuck with it because of the difficulty though. I've only ended it a few times, myself.


If you guys don't like Double Dragon on NES, which I still like, have you played the Sega Master System, Atari 7800, or Atari 2600 versions (each progressively worse)?The Master System version of Double Dragon is far better, IMO. Well, as long as you play single player. The flicker is off the meter if you play two player.

[treismac]

The hit collision on the Sega Master System version is a joke. I first played this game in the last 2 to 3 years so this version wasn't able to let me down like the NES version, which I has such high hopes for back in the day.

[NE146]

It's a funny thing.. as I was initially very disappointed in NES Ninja Gaiden because it ended up being nothing like the arcade. Of course however it turned out to be a great game that I grew to like for it's own merits. The same thing couldn't be said about NES Strider however. I wanted the arcade game, didn't get it, and despite giving it a fair shake the NES title just ended up being pretty much average.

Now Double Dragon on the other hand.. I loved the arcade game but didn't expect it on the NES since I had read reviews about it in EGM etc. So I loved it right from the start. I still think it's a great NES game. :)

[FrankSerpico]

The worst one I own is definitely Primal Rage for the Genesis. The fact that this game even got Genesis and SNES (and Game Gear...and Game Boy) ports was ludicrous in the first place, and was obviously nothing more than an attempted money grab on Time Warner Interactive's part. Even though in retrospect it was an all-around pretty awful game with one of the worst control schemes in fighter history, it was a graphical showcase in the arcade and 16-bit systems of the day had no shot at making it look decent. As for ports I don't own but played and hated, the PSone ports of Marvel vs Capcom and Hydro Thunder certainly deserve mention. Like the aforementioned Primal Rage ports, they really shouldn't have even tried

[treismac]

I too remember being put off by the complete overhaul of Ninja Gaiden on the NES from the arcade, and, yet, the NES version of Ninja Gaiden is one of those touchstone games from my childhood that I cherish.

[VG_Maniac]

The only port that might actually be half-decent of a Mortal Kombat game is MKII for the 32x, and even that's not as good as it could be.

Stick with the arcade, don't waste your time on any of the shitty home ports really.

I disagree. The SNES had a very good port of MKII.

[Emuaust]

I prefer the home ports of MK over the stupid AI of the Arcade and to mention the 32X version of MKII without mentioning the snes is another classic Baloo quote...

[Ze_ro]

Oh, I forgot to mention Total Carnage on the CD32 (And I assume the regular Amiga versions as well, though I haven't tried them). Absolutely terrible port... the graphics look fine, but they totally botched the gameplay. It's slow and boring, without any of the fun of the arcade version. There's also no background music or sound, so you just get to listen to repetitive gunfire sounds most of the time. The controls were screwed up to work with a one-button Amiga joystick, and then no one bothered to tell the developers that the CD32 has enough buttons to handle double-stick shooters. It's very frustrating for me, because the system should be more than capable of pulling off a good port. Check out icbrkr's video of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_wmHH_q3cc), and compare that with the SNES version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOGTinD-1jU) (which is a watered down port in it's own right, but still far more fun).

[Zebbe]

Double Dragon on Amiga. What a lazy effort. The music is the theme recorded in one 5 second or so sample that loops, and there are around four sound effects, where the explosion shares the same with the punch sound. Also, the gameplay and gfx suck.

[General Catastrophe]

Funny that this topic should appear so soon after I tried playing Metal Slug Anthology on my PSP- and I say tried because all the games on it hit seem to frequently (and randomly) hit a stop sign and have to load the next part of whatever level I'm on. It's so jarring, and totally killjoys the fun out of playing them. And this is the only platform I've ever seen this degree of slowdown on for ANY of the Metal Slug games. At the least, this is the most recent bad arcade port I've experienced...

[Kitsune Sniper]

[TonyTheTiger]

If we're going to count handhelds as "home consoles" then there's really only one answer to this question.

http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/7660/635763-mkadvance_large.jpg

Mortal Kombat Advance is more or less a port of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. And it is not functional in any meaningful sense of the word. Worst arcade port ever. There is no doubt in my mind.

[turbofan1]

Chase Hq for the turbo grafx 16.What A piece of crap this game is.The turbo had some decent arcade ports like R type,Ninja Spirit,Cadash.I don`t no wth happened with Chase Hq.

[Sunnyvale]

Some of these have already been mentioned, but...
Atari 2600 Pac Man, Double Dragon, and Donkey Kong.
NES had Double Dragon, TMNT Arcade, and Paperboy.
SMS Altered Beast
Genesis MK (all)
SNES SFII
Intellivision DK
Any version of Pit Fighter I've played, any version of Operation Wolf I've played...

But of course, this all comes down to preferences and memories. SFII SNES was a huge disappointment to me, but some just loved it, it got rave reviews, etc. But for the die-hard quarter-spenders, it wasn't even close.

well, for the $9.99 (new) I paid for it, it was worth it for Neo Turf Masters! but yeah, I considered selling my AES cart of Last Resort, then played it in here and couldn't part with it… it was terrible on this collection!

[Kitsune Sniper]

well, for the $9.99 (new) I paid for it, it was worth it for Neo Turf Masters!

Yeah, that one played perfectly.

I just don't get them. Their extras are pretty good, but how could they be so fucking lazy when working on the emulation?
